Haha reread my posts, never once did I interject my wants. I simply asked a question. The last poster simply asked a question. No one was trying to steal your jello.

As far as not having an interest, perhaps he was wondering if it were possibly to bring more efficiency or to stream line aspects for building terrains.

Not everyone is here to take away from what you are doing nor are they attacking you personally.

If you don’t want people to post ask skuzzy to change the permissions on this thread.

But seriously get over yourself .

You are now by starting this whizzing match. Build your own terrain.

How do you extend the mountain range on down the valley wall? I've pulled lines of block bases then logically extended the ridge to have the centering high point to start a pull for the bulldozer tool from high to low to create a slope that I'll revisit to clean up and add other features.

Now I have to think about secondary upthrust nearer to the center of the valley and how those will look. Then I can blend that into this and eventually loop back and paint some of this.

And what possible reason do you have to try and inject yourself into building my terrain when this is a screen shot documentation of the process? Why don't you build your own terrain, or at the minimum PM me to find out if I'm even interested in what you think you need to inject into this? This is the third terrain you gents have not been able to control yourselves and just watch the process as I build the terrain. I would call that having your head somewhere dark.

Why do you guys have such an addiction to injecting your selves into my terrain building process and then make me out as the bad actor for not being interested? I understand doing that to HTC since you are paying to access that product. You are not paying me to build this terrain.

Somewhere in those rectangular cross sectional runs are secondary upthrust ridges. I just know there are if I click my ruby slipper heels together and say "I know there are".

In the time you gents waste whizzing with me, each of you could already have a 1:1 blueprint created for a new terrain and a heightmap file imported into the terrain editor. Or a blank terrain editor export file into a project space going in L3DT. 8thJinx just went through getting a workspace going in L3DT and you can contact him to help you.

I knew if I just kept clicking those heels the upthrust ridges would magically appear.

Using only the AH3 terrain editor there are 4 primary ways to build mountains by hand. A fifth if you are good with grayscale and gradients, that is a very time consuming endevor. Across the three rift valley's I'm using three of the ways to create the illusion of three different rock strata formations. This really dosen't take me very long once I can visualize how to transition into it and a good idea what it will look like as a MACRO feature. There is no farming this out to other people because it is one whole that ties into the whole terrain theme.

That leaves the only other part that could be farmed out but, it's the fun I'm slaving away at all of this MACRO construction to finally reach. And you might say the philosophical heart of any terrain and what the builder of the terrain thinks will represent a good play space for the community. Why would I want to hand away my vision to other community member's who won't build their own terrains with their own ideas? There is no track record for their opinions as real terrains played on by the community.

Another segment finished on the inside of the rift with another to go to finish the secondary upthrust region. Still the outside on both sides and what ever I decide down the valley. Sure this is time consuming, so is creating clay statues for bronze statue sand molds, or creating wax jewellery settings for loss wax casting. Or creating from scratch a Japanese sword handle from wood, ray skin wrap, and then silk braid warping. And it being up to the standards for use in years of sword training.

The time and effort spent here is nothing new to me to get the results I want.











the last segment for the secondary upthrust ridge.

Come on, really?
Can you not make these pictures smaller, or make an attachment per protocol?
This is getting out of hand now.

'look what I drew daddy'.  Yea the first five times that nice.
Not so much now...

So is this about a gratuitous opportunity for a drive by shot at me? Or did my reference to clicking the heels of ruby slippers not go over well...... :rolleyes:

Where is your terrain to document and show me how?

My picture host company has been having a few slowdowns recently in resolving pictures here in these forums. In the past with my other projects I split these posts in into versions to address long loading periods for all the screen shots. I'll move this to a version 2 back in the terrain editor forum with my next screen shots.

Everyone should check out Chikov's new terrain that looks like he is about to submit it to Hitech. He has done excellent work and I hope it will be in rotation soon.
