I thought it was deja vu, I posted a video demonstration about UE 4 terrain system done by a user in 4 hours which shows some nice features. And in a while, it disappears. So I posted again, and it disappears shortly.
I can find the thread in the Search, but its gone .Twice.
So now we can’t talk about the competition? Is this what democracy is coming to?
I think one of the mods should start a new UE4 vs. CE vs. Unity thread (again) and let it run like the last one did, any other threads outside of that get deleted and just let people have at it.
Pretty sure there’s at least one of the fifteen gazillion such threads that already exist which can be revived and used for such a purpose.
First of all:
wat
However, it does appear that UE4-centric threads are getting not merely locked (which is sensible, as the threads do have no real place here), but actually deleted (which, when it comes to discussion about competition, starts to look seriously shady). The most recent UE4-related thread I can find currently is from Tuesday, and I know there have been several since then.
Well when I read your thread it had nothing but a youtube video embedded in. You didn’t criticize Unity terrain or etc. which would have made it at least semi related to Unity. Like it’s been said that it should have been posted in the existing threads as it had no value on its own.
Unless I’m much mistaken, these forums are for Unity-related topics. Most of these UE4 threads haven’t got a slight thing to do with Unity. In other words, I doubt they belong here in the first place, though that’s not my decision to make, that’s Unity Tech’s and their elected moderators.
The only people I see that have a problem with this are those who are trying to push UE4. I also argue that A) that’s completely useless, because if someone wants to try UE4, it’s not really hard to find, what with Google and all, and B) it’s really rather rude to be pushing your opinion on people who have chosen differently. As before, if we wanted to check out/evaluate UE4, we would, there’s not a lot that people could do to stop it (other than Aurore vaporizing me. So, for my sake, please don’t do it. 
)
I think that Unity is well within their rights to delete topics that are useless on their forums. If you love UE4 so much? Talk about it on their forums. If UE4 is doing something that Unity isn’t, why not have a topic that discusses both engines instead of all this “UE4 just better LOL!” crap.
Seriously, this is really annoying.
Well, you just need to watch the video to know which improvements Unity Terrain needs. Isn’t this a gossip section to discuss non unity related things. I’m sharing things which users may find useful. If you think it threatens you, so censoring is the way.
Yes let’s just use a Unity forum to promote another engine without making any comparisons or comments. Please it is getting old. If you are going to do yet another one at least make it about Unity in some way.
Just a question here but do people go on blender and post videos that maya/max can do? Or have the many threads comparing them? I would think that it would be unprofessional to do it.
i just typed int Unreal into search window and as far as i was willing to scroll all were locked…yeah gazillion revivable threads…give me a break.
So discussing other technologies is forbidden, or is it just limited to UE4? This is not a “UE4 just better LOL!” crap. It is a demonstration on engine features, and you are welcome to see it as useful, or bury your head in the sand. I’m sharing things which may be useful, and if it doesn’t benefit you, others might.
Man, I was so on your side of this until this comment. They’re being deleted because they’re offtopic. Period, end of story. You made no effort to make it on-topic. (Even a simple “Is this possible in Unity?” would have been enough) Honestly I was assuming that the original post had such a comment on it (having not seen the original post).
I did watch it and still you should have said at least something like which features you liked to see in Unity. There is an official thread for new terrain and improvements, why didn’t you post it there with a wish list? 
Actually, yes.
I see no problem with people talking about the competition or comparing them. Its just that it always ends up with people making the same points over and over.
But I think deleting threads about the competition is just bad. Thats stooping to CryDev level right there.
Of course, if theres a legitimate reason to delete the thread then who am I to question the mods.
No, this is a gossip section primarily meant to discuss gossip related to Unity.
Then you should have had some text under it stating how you think unity should benefit from X feature or maybe look at y feature.
Don’t disagree, maybe one ultimate master thread not about any one specific thing would work?
I’m not asking whether unity can do it, I know the terrain engine limitations and it can’t, at least not without alot of external plugins. Do you know how other terrain engines work or Unity terrain satisfy you?
OK. Was just wondering. Figured if the owner of the forum doesn’t like things they have full power to do what they want anyway. It is in the agreement that everyone doesn’t read too.
Unity terrain sucks big time. I highly doubt anyone would fight that. Plus they made a official thread about maybe one day in the near millennium it will get a sooo much needed revamp.
So we are going to delete thread talking about GameMaker, Cocoas 2D, Torque, etc or just the selectively? Terrain is related to Unity, and anything in IT world is related to Unity in some way.
