Hello there, so I recently started to learn playcanvas, and I’m quite stuck on how can we just create worlds ? Whether it is a huge open world or a small scene, I believe we’re not going to create small cubes or drag and drop a thousand trees to place them with x y z coords right ?
The most interesting finds was this Uranus SDK or PIC editor, but both seems to have been discontinued and are nowhere to be found like all links from Leonidas. Most topics on the forum point to that, I saw that we can create maps in Unreal Engine but how to import them in pc ?
My goal would be to move a basic character in a 3D world like minecraft/cube world/trove/ or any voxel style map.
I remember creating height maps using WorldMachine in the past and that could work with the tutorial on terrain generation but what about painting ? Having trees, rocks, water, caves, buildings etc ?
I believe the most practical way would be to import from a robust third party editor.
So I tried to make a map on Unreal 5 following this tutorial and exported to fbx, then dropped the file on PC and here is the result, any idea how to have the collision mesh and also textures ?
Normally you add a collision component of type ‘Mesh’ and assign the corrent render asset to it. You also need to add a rigidbody component.
As far as I know, you need to assign materials with textures manually to the entities of the mesh. I’m not sure if that’s possible in your case, because I can’t see the hierarchy on your image.
Thanks for the reply, I tried to add the mesh collision but couldn’t drag anything to both slots, I assume the exported file doesn’t contains enough things to work properly. I also guess @Leonidas is quite experienced on the matter and it would be really great to have some kind of guidelines on how to work with map editing available to the community
