Hello Noveans,

The upcoming 0.24 Update includes a plethora of enhancements to elevate the look and playability of Dual Universe. Today, we’re going to take a closer look at two of these: biomes improvements and new voxel features.
 
BIOMES IMPROVEMENTS

In this first phase of a significant, ongoing graphics update, we are improving the biomes of our planets to make them more visually diversified. Combining Speedtree, a procedural generation software, with the Quixel Megascans assets library for the textures and meshes, we now have many new tree models!
 
The Quixel Megascans library also provided many new rock models, which our artist team has then reworked.
 
Moreover, to achieve maximum realism, our ground textures now utilize scans of authentic terrestrial soils. In addition, we have improved the rendering to increase the textures’ visual quality and performances even further.
 

 

Rendered models from our Engine Editor.


These new rock assets will replace all the previous ones and add variety to the environments.
 

 

We have a new night lighting! To offer a better visual by nighttime, the tree models have been calibrated in order to fit the new night lighting.
 

 

All tree and rock assets are placed in the game world using procedural generation spawning.
 

These scans ground textures are the materials from Quixel Megascans used to replace previous ground textures.
 
NEW VOXEL FEATURES

One of the most compelling aspects of Dual Universe is its fully editable world. Through the art of manipulating voxel structures known as voxelmancy, the possibilities for channeling your creativity are endless. Our goal is to provide the players with as many tools as possible to edit voxel shapes, and we want these tools to be user-friendly and efficient.
 
 
The suite of voxel tool shapes is now even sweeter with the addition of the cone shape. Using it is similar to making cylinders. Use the mousewheel to increase the size of the base, and drag up or down to increase or decrease the height.
 
 
The new line tool allows you to select an area using any of the available voxel shapes and then hit the Alt key to delete them. Hopefully, you will now find it less tedious to remove voxels than with the previous system!
 
SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

Are you looking forward to being surrounded by the luscious new sights and textures of the graphics update? How will the new voxel tools compliment your constructs? Let us know in this discussion thread. ?
 
 

I have been gaming / father of 4 / full time tech for 14 years now. My steam account shows that if you know that type of account but i want to personally Thank ALL the devs , And workers of DU for
bringing the world of DU to us all, and all gamer's together into a game that i think personally will change game-play mechanics for all of us for any future game. games will need to compare or beat standards being set here. Glad im a part of this!
 
So Big thanks to JC , Alain , Maxime , And all the Programmers , Graphic designers. As I speak from most DU fans we love you guys for it
 
No need for comments not needed its just a Thank You !

I want to personally thank all the members of Aether 
 
I Will Ensure to read more and make sure my place here is earned.

Looking Forward To Start With you Guys , The Peaceful Motivation for this group will Brings Good Members.
 
I have found many past games like this has stirred a bad set of groups,leaving the few out who may not be fully understanding of the
game-play mechanics, I enjoy helping others learn ,  and Prosper from embracing the members!
 
 
 
Enjoy Guys
