i am wondering if anybody had any good knowledge on terrain building for me? i found a tutorial on it, from a website that i have used for almost EVERYTHING i needed but it is too confusing to me .
ill take anything
thx

Yep, you need to know how to vertex edit, just click the red brush builder. Then while holding down the alt button, click on a little point of the brush and you should be able to move it around. This causes some major bsp issues though

ahhh thanks shadow i did it! on the website i was on just basically said...."to make terrain you have to do vertex editing on the brush"
and i was like WTF!?!? what does that mean. so you were ALOT of help! THANKS

Lol np.

Oh btw X! Be careful of HOM's using custom terrain! If you exceed the maximum threshold of the brushes complexity with vertex editing it will result in a bad HOM that won't be fun to fix . Just be sure to not "stretch" the brush too much.

how do you make terrain?
would be a good edition to my maps

Another tid-bit ...
When you "build" the terrain brush, you use it to Subtract (intersect first) from something - always.
Do not "add" using the terrain brush.

Yes, that is also what I have heard JackO.
That is how I used the terrain editor (brush) also.

so i make the area then get the terrain brush build it how i like the build it?

ok i get it

but how to i make it look good what texture should be used?

Try "GenEarth" package - load it in and look under the different parts like "rocks", etc.
Load in different stock packages and look at them.
Pick an appropriate texture for what you are making.
You can change the textures later if you don't like what you originally applied.

thanks hook

Make sure to "Align" the textures ...
Align to Wall Direction and Align to Wall Panning
OR
Align to Floor / Ceiling
