Terrain Chop

Post by supercrosspig »

I'm curious what causes the terrain chop in editor and if there is a work around on our end or if there is any thing JLV can do to solve it. Examples below.

Image
As you can see with the corner I whipped up here, the first half of the corner is defined and normal but the exit get has that nasty chop which makes it so tough for track makers to work around.

Image
This is just a circle made with the raise tool, when it is dragged diagonally from the top left to bottom right or vice versa it creates the chop but is fine on the other sides of the circle.

Obviously it's not as bad with 4k terrains or making the map smaller but still noticeable.

I think it's just the angle the light's hitting it at.

It may be totally in my head but I feel like it reacts differently to like the smooth tool and feels more choppy when riding.

I just tested two far different sun vectors and it totally did change where the chop was seen. Is there a vector that would hide this, it visually messes up the ruts when building them.

I'd just smooth it out a little.
