Wall Worm Forums

When I was making the physic I be carefullabout the number of Hull I set to 10 and after 256 for more details but I think a very complexe gull includes leafs and the whole model can be very problematic for optimization and compilation because polygons and triangles

Thank you wallworm and for other it was not directly the model be careful to compile with

  -StaticPropLighting  -TextureShadows  -StaticPropPolys -final

As wallworm said but I'm gonna watch the tutorial

Also, for shadows, you can click the Final Preset in the VMF exporter, and it will add the needed VRAD compile options:

 -StaticPropLighting  -TextureShadows  -StaticPropPolys -final

And here are docs on Hull Helper.

Unfortunately, you found a very old video. I would suggest that you use this one instead:


Also, here is some info on technical specs of hulls.

Hey i have a problem i create a custom Hull for my model by following this tutorial

The latest installer works with 3ds Max 2024. If you find any issues, please report them to me.

When WW 5.8.3 was released last week, it was missing several plugin packages. That is fixed in 5.8.4.

Version 5.6.1 released on 1-8-2023

   * Entities: Added new Entity Override workflow that allows you to override entity properties when an entity inside a Forest or PropLine meets the conditions of the override. Current conditions are altitude-based or volume-based.
   
   * CSGO Tools: Added rollout to create the map TXT file for CSGO.
   
   * ProPal: Fixed MAXScript error when manually creating a ProPal node in some versions of 3ds Max.

   * VMF Exporter: Updated the VMF Exporter to only place the -deletecubemaps command in the PAK batch file. When used, the user is required to rebuild cubemaps.

Version 5.5.4 released on 12-28-2022

   * PropLine: Fixed a MAXScript error that could happen when deleting nodes that are used as sources in a PropLine.

###################################

Version 5.5.3 released on 12-28-2022

   * PropLine: Fixed the Skip Materials PropLine only working with WallWormMDL nodes.
   
   * PropLine: Fixed some transform issues with non Wall Worm MDL nodes when using the Skip Materials functions.

Version 5.5.2 released on 12-28-2022

   * PropLine: Added button to acquire include/exclude settings from another PropLine in the scene.
   
   * PropLine: Updated PropLine to properly utilize the WallWormMDL node's face count for display limit purposes such as Hull and LODs.
   
   * PropLine: Fixed incorrect size calculations on WallWormMDL nodes in some cases.
   
   * PropLine: Fixed problem in PropLine where prop instances could have incorrect transforms when the Skip Materials option was on.
   
   * Materials: Fixed missing material parsing in some cases. Only for Max 2022+.
   
   * VMF Exporter: Updated VMF Exporter to always write the batch files to compile and PAK the assets even if the exporter is not actually compiling.
   
   * VMF Exporter: Added new option to delete cubemaps in compiler. When enabled, the command is added to the beginning of the PAK batch file.
   
   * VMF Exporter: Updated the PAK report to skip files that are missing but are found inside the PAK file (for 3ds Max 2022+).
   
   * VMF Exporter: Updated the PAK report to not mention missing .sw.vtx and .dx80.vtx files as modern compilers aren't making these anymore.
   
   * Entities: Fixed defect causing an infinite loop in some occassions when looking for entity classes.
   
   * Soundscape Manager: Fixed defect that caused Max to freeze indefinitely when loading the Soundscape Manager.

Version 5.4.1 released on 11-12-2022

   * PropLine: Added new option called Skip Materials. When on, materials are not generated for the PropLine. Helps improve performance.
   
   * PropLine: Added new options to display meshes with high face count as Boxes.
   
   * Displacements: Added new spinner in the Displacement Floater to control the depth of terrain brushes when using the Terrain and Corridor functions.
   
   * Displacements: Updated some of the button groups in the Displacement Floater.

Version 5.2.9 released on 10-24-2022

   * CorVex Spline: Fixed incorrect additional spline segments being created in a CorVex Spline using the new Side Mid Divisiors setting.
   
   * CorVex Spline: Fixed regression where CorVex Splines from wall-mode corvexes that were not closed would create an unexpected extra segment.
