I haven't seen a tutorial on creating basic terrain since Eqvalizer's, so I thought I write one. It covers both modelling and alpha blending.

Nice one SomeRhino! There hasn't been any tutorials on making decent terrain for ages. I read Eqvalizer's tutorials on making terrain, they do help but the language used in them wasn't, well up to scratch but they did contain some useful information though. It's good to see that the people wo are experienced in areas of modding are writing tutorials to help other people out.

Again, excellent work Very Happy

Rhino you do it again! You Rule! We need some sort of SomeRhino day... April 18th has a ring to it. (Although that date is just a arbitrary date pulled out of thin air) Very Happy

Still, man, as soon as I figure out this soft selection thing I will be making non crappy maps! Whooohooo!

I made a specific sticky thread for announcing new tutorials, and a thread containing all of them, yet nobody is using it. Mad

We have our reasons. But you could post it there as well so Blazer can add it to the mod resource list.

"We have our reasons"? Mind sharing them? If this is about getting traffic to your site(s) instead of having the tutorial posted here locally, be aware that the thread that has the compilation of links, has links to the external sites.

I turned on images and even HTML for this forum so people could post helpful things, but alll anyone does is post links to external sites, so I say fine and make a thread with a collection of the links, and people refuse to use it...so now I guess Im supposed to just search through the forum everyday and find new ones myself. :huh:

Sorry Blazer, I didn't know if you wanted 2+ MegaBytes of pictures uploaded here, and all of which extended the forum tables. I also didn't know HTML was on. Would you rather me put a link in the sticky thread or repost it locally?

I added the link. Also feel free to directly post (in HTML format) any tutorials provided the pictures arent bigger than 1024x768 (800x600 would be even better).

Excellent tutorial somerhino!! Very Happy

A lilttle side note...a easy way to select all the outer edges is to convert to editable poly and select border...then convert back to editable mesh and select edge and all your outer edges will be selected.

Not sure if this is a correct way of doing this ....but correct me if im wrong.

There is an easier way than that, just click the button that has the red dot next to it in the image below when your in RenX.

Blazer: I simply meant that if I was posting a tutorial I would first make a new topic because I wouldn't have noticed a new tutorial in thats sticky until I bothered to check. I wasn't saying don't post them in there too just that people are more aware of a new post than something added to a sticky.
