hi. im really new to this. i did lots of tutorials but im still not geting the hang of it. What i really want to do is build a huge terrain. I went to /object/add terrain/ and thats wut im looking for but lots bigger, and my own design. Is there some sort of generator i can download or something? it looks like it ismade from a bunch of wires but i dont know and there isnt a tutorial i know of about it. so could someone hyelp me?

If you have a program like photoshop or paintshop than you can make, what is known as a heightmap. That is a picture that shows the height ifference of the ground. It should look something like this: http://www.c-unit.com/tutorials/directx/images/Terrain/heightMap.jpg

You save it as bmp. Open MED and open the heightmap. Med will turn the picture in a 3d model. Then after you have added a texture you save it as terrain and you can use it in games.

There are programs though. I use Freeworld 3d, but that costs $30, don't know about free ones.

what edition of gamestudio do you have?

A6 and thanks cartoon babboon

Wait how does that picture make a terrain? are the dark spots supposed to be deeper sections and light spots supposed to be places like mountians and stuff?

If you want just a huge terrain, click on the scale-tool in wed and scale it

EDIT: Yes, dark is low and bright is high *rapping*

OK two problems now. i build the level and i get Critical error and the level has no geometry...

2nd problem. hOw the heck do i textureize the terrain. even on just the /oject/terrain add/ i cant gmake it grassy. ( alredy loaded the wads dont wrry.)

problem 1. you have to have level geometry in the level.
problem 2. you do that in the program you made the terrian in.

1. Make a big cube, then hollow it out and put the terrain in that.

2. In MED you add a skin to the terrain.
You only add textures in WED onto geometry blocks

Ok so i opened it in MED and i went to opened up the generic terrtain that WED gives wen u add a terrain. The only place to do something with skins that i saw was /view/skins/ and i didnt know how to get them on to the actual terrain. ??
