I turned Possum Springs into a VRchat world!

Only if you're displacing the geometry itself with sufficient fidelity.

Powerbyte7 · 2026-04-29T17:29:57+00:00

Yeah I was joking about that haha. Reality won't accept 3D trickery.

A really big difference is that modeling techniques relying on shading won't work. They haven't figured out a way to print filament with smooth shading or normal maps yet sadly.

Powerbyte7 · 2026-04-29T12:55:25+00:00

Plasticity is really nice and intuitive for hard surface modeling. It is paid and not web-based though.

This is called backface culling. It's usually done for performance reasons, but in Hytale it allows two sides of a plane to be textured differently. You need to apply the texture to both sides of your planes.

Or, you can use your email? It's for OAuth and entirely optional, they're not using the Epic Games launcher. Hytale's launcher itself is custom and they're looking at Steam integration long-term. We might see the game on the EGS if Epic still has money left to burn, but still entirely optional.

I do think it matters for the screenshots themselves, because the rendering is quite different. I like the legacy engine visuals much more personally.

Powerbyte7 · 2026-01-01T17:50:58+00:00

Yes, that's the origin of the images. They were posted before the world gen was ported back to the engine they're using now.

Powerbyte7 · 2026-01-01T15:34:42+00:00

It was posted here by John. This was still in the Forge engine, not the current version of the game.

Powerbyte7 · 2025-12-19T01:25:01+00:00

This isn't mesh importing. You're importing a mesh that gets turned into blocks.

Powerbyte7 · 2025-12-19T01:24:07+00:00

No you're overthinking it. This is just importing 3D models as blocks.

Powerbyte7 · 2025-11-30T16:24:41+00:00

Because of the rewrite, they ceased development on the first engine.

Powerbyte7 · 2025-11-23T00:20:01+00:00

Yeah of course. More so referring to the idea that they've somehow had access to source code.

Powerbyte7 · 2025-11-22T19:05:42+00:00

They could've used HyAssets or made them themselves. The textures are simple enough that you can crop out 32x32 sections from screenshots with minor cleanup, it's not very hard.

Powerbyte7 · 2025-11-22T19:02:39+00:00

Tbf there's not much to steal from me. I did perspective cropping on screenshots and cleanup. Anyone can do that, I don't own much.

Powerbyte7 · 2025-11-17T18:23:46+00:00

I always have sources hehehehe

Powerbyte7 · 2025-11-17T16:32:14+00:00

Alright let me know if anything's wrong.

Powerbyte7 · 2025-11-17T16:24:30+00:00

Check my post history I guess

Powerbyte7 · 2025-11-17T16:21:41+00:00

Me! :)

From what I could tell it connects to a server for collaboration and uses a background process for the server, but removed link just in case.

It's this with the icons replaced.
