Each map offers a unique landscape with varying obstacles, hills, environment, roadways, etc. You start off by choosing one of 12 included maps, which range from a simple empty grid to East Cost USA to a Jungle Rock Island to Utah, USA. For the most part, most people find themselves playing in freeroam as this is where you have the freedom to customize and experiment with the game, its maps and vehicles. As of right now, there are two modes available – Freeroam and Scenarios. One of the first things that I want to point out with BeamNG.drive is that, as of writing, this game is still considered “early access” which means it is still technically in development. If you decide to purchase the game or are looking for more insight, it’s definitely worth a look. This post will provide a review of the game, while the BeamNG.drive Tips for Beginners post will detail some of the tips and tricks that I’ve discovered while playing BeamNG.drive. The result is stunning car crashes upon interactions with various objects and other landscape obstacles. I was immediately impressed with the accuracy and detail of the crashes as the game boasts a real-time, soft-body dynamic physics structure using algorithms for physics calculations in real-time. As someone who’s a fan of simulation games, particularly physics simulations, I got my hands on BeamNG.drive early on. Typical depth map based terrain limits size of map as well as resolution, it has some nice features, but for anything other than miniscule maps, I don't think that terrain type will work too is a soft-body physics simulation game developed by the BeamNG company and first released in 2013.

as those are so easy to work with and 35km by 35km static object as a ground works just fine in new BeamNG versions.Īnother bonus with static objects is that roads are much easier to control, they get some proper smoothness and you can model bumps in, pavement can have actual edge etc. If you want to bring open street map as a terrain to game, then you need to figure out way to render terrain to height map in Blender and then bring in the height map.īest to start with static objects, imo. In material editor you can pick grass, asphalt etc.

That is by far easiest way to use such map, just use it as static object.

dae file, add it into your map with editor and choose visual collision to have a test drive.

If you get mesh to Blender, then you just export it to correct folder as.
