For anyone that wants to get into making terrains, my advice is wait for the new version to come out first.  It will save you a lot of headaches learning a totally different terrain system after learning the current one.  Glad to see your interest and will help you out as much as you need/want, including if you want to start out on the current system.  I check the boards multiple times a day, so any questions will be promptly answered. :salute

Thanks Ranger.  I'll take you up on that when the new version comes out.

I am particularly fond of a terrain you made for AvA.  Desert environment, lots of bridges, etc... 

That is what actually inspired me to want to learn.  I have a new Alienware system I just picked up and tons of memory and space.  I think I could have fun with it.

Thanks!

Ranger, what would you guess the number of hours to make an average size map acceptable to HTC?
