Title: AvA Terrain: OstFront
Post by: USRanger on March 24, 2011, 10:02:52 PM: (http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/6929/30539293.jpg) (http://img689.imageshack.us/i/30539293.jpg/)

Began work on this tonight. It will be a generic Eastern Front winter terrain to be used in the AvA for a variety of set ups. Will post more pics as I progress. :salute

So I'm not weird for doing this. :aok

I know all your work is awesome and since Ive been messing with the TE....I never realized how much work goes into it so once again :salute

I have a question...how do you change the terrains, im working on a map that has lots of cliffs, but none of the default terrains has that look of cliff rocks....

One thing though- I don't know that ice covered lakes reflect the blue of the sky. The visible ice is very dark colored (not pitch black but a very very dark gray with maybe a hint of dark green). And sometimes you get large fracture lines in the ice; sometimes there can be open sections of water on part of the lake where flocks of ducks and geese congregate.

Post by: USRanger on August 21, 2011, 10:12:38 PM: Will take that into account oboe. This terrain will be a do-over. It was lost (along with all my years of AH stuff) in a hard drive implosion. Will post new pics at a later date.Next week I go offline for 2-3 weeks while I move, so that will give me time for terrain building. :salute
