Title: How can I do this mountain ?
Post by: Enzo on April 13, 2007, 09:57:36 AM
Hi,
I know this has been done from DEM data, (this is a NHP map screenshot), but but I guess it's possible to do it within SC4TF with the current tools ?
I've spent two days trying to do it without success ? any tips to properly finish mountain (into the red circle) ? thanks a bunch

I can't help you much
Trying to mimic nature is not an easy task

At least try to create the mountain part in a new small region, with the mountain tool and erode and smooth, then if you're ok with the result export to rgb, export also the region where you plan to put such a mountain, then using photoshop merge the 2 rgb, then import the rgb back into a region

sorry to not being that much helpfull

thanks wouanagaine, and don't feel sorry about it, you've been sooo helpfull with me  :thumbsup:
may be a new brush tool can help on this one ? specially for the front a kind of pyramid I don't think we have this currently. what i do, now, is using the mountain steep hill, i guess it's the most convenient but a pyramid tool may help a lot. you see what i mean ?
did i say this soft is wonderfull ? ;D anyway, this is hard to properly reproduce and lenghtly.
