Finally decided to make a patreon to give myself more time to work on small projects. Currently, just the first version of Rust Asset Exporter, it is available to both tiers but updates will come to the higher tier first. patreon.com/posts/rust-ass…

INSYDIUM NeXus - Rebuilt for Blender. A new chapter for NeXus begins in Blender. Real-time, GPU-driven motion. Fast iteration. Instant feedback. No compromises. This isn’t a port. It’s a shift. Watch on YouTube - youtu.be/keZdUKP2U74 #Blender #b3d #INSYDIUM #NeXus

Hey, there’s balloons on my profile. Guess I’m 25 today. 🥳

RAE 2.0 Beta 3 is now out with some big improvements. patreon.com/posts/rae-2-0-…

WIP full map instancing + camera culling with @CalvFletch

Auto mapping the translucency...

Rust has never looked so peaceful

+ other paths

We have rivers...

Massively improved the foliage spawning to be a much better match to Rust's logic . Here it is with some translucency on the foliage to.

Latest version of RAE 2.0 beta is up, with the new splat shader, terrain blending and experimental Decor + foiage spawning along with some critical bug fixes. patreon.com/posts/rae-2-0-…

All splat and height mixing done, with adaptive subdiv.

50% of the foliage density Rust renders. No translucency or biome colours applied.

I'm sure this would be better as geo nodes but we have Foliage + Decor.

Rivers and oceans now have "Wetness" too from shore data (dark and shiny)

Finally recreated Rust's terrain height based Splat Blending logic... Please ignore the node monstrosity at the bottom.

RAE v2.0 is now in beta on my Patreon on the exclusive tier. Demo and map exporting, this means full bases with conditional models, Player made boats, terrain, trees and any demo entities. patreon.com/posts/rae-v-2-…

Now using in game splat colours

Progress

Fun little tool to make. Load Rust map files, see the loot tables for metal detecting. Filter by items to optimize search. Most lucrative areas for Blue print frags hits 6.1%
