Hi, when i import my fbx from 3ds max it works (picture1)
when i use the PAINT SPREAD TOOL in GG i get DISTORDED objects....!

I wouldn't worry right now ..
The engine will be totally different in the weeks to come.

i'm using this version, not GG MAX !!
Also i would like to remove / disable ALL the PBR effects by default !

Ahh my mistake I misread 3ds Max
I will move it to 3rd Party Models and Media then for you.

it has nothing to do with 3ds max medias & objects, the problem is GG paint spread tool !!

Ahh so the best place to report that is GitHub then
https://github.com/TheGameCreators/GameGuruRepo/issues
A video would also help Lee.
I assumed its a model issue as other models don't do this.
Would that be correct ?

I opened a BUG thread here:
https://github.com/TheGameCreators/GameGuruRepo/issues/766

i think you will find this is not a bug but intentional! the spray tool was designed to spray grass and bushes randomly, so that each do not look the same variation is i think a factor, the spray tool was not designed for buildings and such, most people like to design their level with objects they purposely place, i for one would never use the spray tool with any asset except vegetation, i think i have used it with small boulders and it worked fine i will check again.

yep works as it is supposed too, the smaller the item the better it looks, maybe your rock is too big and the variation even though slight is magnified with your asset, even barrels look ok i think the barrel asset is too big but it does get away with it for variation.

you can see in this video the variation at work i only used one rock but for the most they all look different that is how the spray tool works it adds variation in scale and orientation its not just a paste thing

i have just tried with a large boulder and it works fine, i have attached the rocks i made here for you too try, if you would like me to take a look at your model please send it to me and i will see if i can help you

thanks for the videos it helps a lot, do you know how to remove ALL the pbr effetcs in GG,
because the default ground keeps some kind of bump map ??
I don't ned bump/normal maps i just use flat colors painted no bumps, normal, etc

have you tried looking in the settings.fx -> //#define USEPBRTERRAIN // USE PBR terrain even if you have pbroverride=0 ( medium, only work with one cascade (3) using pbroverride=0 )

Also in setup.ini, is your pbroverride=1 set to pbroverride=0?

pbroverride doesn't turn pbr on and off, it allows gameguru to treat non-pbr models as pbr with default additional maps based off the material index.

For terrain just put a neutral flat normal map (all one colour, i forget what the neutral flat normal colour is right now though) named the same as the texture with the suffix _N or _normal, in the same folder is the terrain texture you want to use.

Edit: Attached an example texture to use as a normal map with no "bumps" (it's not really bump but normal directions but you know what i mean) in dds and png, just change the name part of whichever you want to use to the same as your texture.
