Title: Is the floor generator worth the time ?
Post by: Simon11 on 2024-04-05, 15:19:41
Hello, I havent tried floor generator yet. Whats your experience guys, is modeled 3d floor covered with textures better than simple plain with a good bump/disp textures on it ? Is it worth the effort and time ?

It still has its uses, but with TileMap/Triplanar/etc.. a fully procedural shader to be dropped on plane without any UVWs is something I use more often today.
It takes 4 click process into 1 click process and time&patience is money in our business :- ).

Effectively, the whole thing can now be done inside shader, instead of geo+shader combo. It takes longer time to setup that shader, but you can quickly reuse it across projects, drag&dropping from something like Connecter straight onto ugly CAD geo (one that would crash floorgen without clean-up).

That's my take.

Effort?
Floor generator is very easy to use.
I use it on EVERY interior project.
But I bought this because it was unstable in some cases:

Thanks guys. Its good to know that there are some issues importing floor generator, its better to use corona tiles i guess. Its easy for sure, but i wasnt sure is there a better way to make good quality floor.
