Uhh... Terraining?

[EatMeReturns]

Hey all, i was just wondering if anybody here is a terrainer. I am looking for some examples that i can study by, and i was wondering why there isn't a terraining thread/section in these forums.

Do you mean Custom Terrain? or ISOM, or both mixed together..

Take this for instant..

This was a custom design of a battle arena by me..

But a nice example is:

.....How'd you stack the beacon, Shield Generator, and Pylon?

[EatMeReturns]

scmdraft or starforge... he placed the beacon, then placed a pylon with the bottom tip in the center of the beacon, then placed the shield battery directly over the beacon. voila!

[Moogle]

I used X-Tra, in that area beacon = cloaked, same as shield battery. Pylon is removed afterwards. =/

But Scmdraft / Starforge / X-Tra let you stack stuff.

[EatMeReturns]

ew, you said the x-word! (i dont like x-tra, so i dont ever talk about it)

[Moogle]

I'm old school, using X-Tra ^_^ as well campaign editor.. woot!

[EatMeReturns]

ew ru serious?

i use scmdraft (rarely), starforge (for triggers, rectangular terraining), campaign editor (normal terrain).

what are the differences between scmdraft and starforge, regarding square terraining? does one work better than the other?

[Moogle]

I rather use Scmdraft, over starforge. but thats me. I use scmdraft sometimes when I am triggering. Differences is scmdraft was updated more then starforge =/ I can use scmdraft for every aspect. But I just like to use X-Tra / Campaign editor in boredom sake.
