How to questions?

General Discussion

I don’t know if where to ask for general tips/tricks so I am posting here…

How do I make slopes look more like sedimentary rock deposits both texturally and hightfield wise?

What is a good way to do dunes with the wavey sand? I remember a plugin from back in wm 1 but it wasn’t very good.

any idea on how to make the roads have dashed lines down the middle or is that a job for my photoshop? Trying to reduce post process image editing

I am sure I will have other questions but right now i am just trying to hammer out some different techniques.

Try the terraces device. Otherwise, it’s difficult because heightfields can’t have overhangs.
coloring every layer of sediment different will probably be a good idea.

I made a macro fur dunes: http://nkblog.nkdev.de/?page_id=446

Is the street more or less a straight line? Would it be possible to derive the street from a layout line with a constant slope (along the line I mean)?

I am looking at doing city-block style grids. So it wouldn’t be a straight line.

4

If the streets are perfectly perpendicular, it’s still possible. I’ll put together an example.

there you go.

OH cool! I will try it out!

Hi all, I didn’t see this covered in the manual and after fiddling with it endlessly I thought I’d break down and ask…

I simply want to create an extent or modify the existing ones to output a grid whose x and y scaling is from 0 to 100 (or better yet -50 to 50). But no matter what I do it insists on giving me numbers in the range of 1 to 12.5. How can I make this happen?
