Creation of terrain textures

[hitech]

Right, I guess. The default clutter is supposed to be in the built terrain. We can't modify it yet.

hehe, the OE didn't like it when I tried to force it to build a clutter set. Nice recovery! Now I'm thinking about what that would look like.

By clutter do you mean tree type stuff or grass.

For clutter/grass you can modify both the clutter it's self and what type and where on the terrain. Also the selection of type to random what type.

For trees you can not change the basic tree set / city building stuff but you can modify there placement on terrain tiles and square objects.

By clutter, I always mean trees, building and grass as opposed to a bare ground type tile. Anything that obstructs your view or movement.

I get that we can't change the tree set, , but do you also mean we can't add user's custom objects to tiles? Keep in mind I won't know how my idea will look until I try it...  I was thinking of very short LOD screening saplings in the 100 to 200 feet visible range for GV battles with compensating aerial views, pictures of denser forest scenes on the diffuse ground tile. I have in mind no-collide 2D objects to infill certain tiles, forest and jungle. At ground level, twenty or thirty feet high saplings etc. don't need to sway in the breeze. If it doesn't work, it wouldn't be the first time I've tried something that failed.

You will not be able to add custom objects to the tile set. But you will be able to place the existing items. Any thing listed as trees under the object editor.

Thanks (runs off to cry)

Dang, there goes my hopes to keep snow covered trees on winter terrains.

[Greebo]

Perhaps HTC could add some snow covered trees to the existing set.

The trees were brought in from somewhere else and have a copyright on them, so no editing of them.  To get around that, I was hoping for some static winter trees made in AC3D to get around that, but that's not going to be allowed either.  Bah!

a big disappointment .

The skys not falling....

So far, all we've done is a pac tree set  and a european tree set. we only have terrsets 0-3 right now.
If you guys are bored, you can go here and browse: https://store.speedtree.com/product-category/visual_effects/trees-v6/

If you want, it would be nice to have a list of about 5-6 tree types for different terrains / season. Ill let the botanist side of you guys pick out trees for terrains. Ex: North Africa / Mediterranean, Europe winter, ect.... Just call it a wishlist for now as we are busy on other things, but we do plan on having other terrsets

Cool, Alaska Cedar!  Conifer Winter! and Burnt Tree!  I feel like the Pope just visited our terrains and given his blessings. 

[Easyscor]

The Pope's got NOTHING on these guys!

Also:

We already have purchased all the items you see on those pages. And thats why we can not let you at the source to modify them.

Ooh! European White Birch, European Aspen, Norway Spruce and Scots Pine would be nice for the Baltic map. Some maples, elms and beeches especially in the southern half. Where's alder, how come they don't have it?

  My guess, is that the custom build crowd, would like some sort of ability to "MIX" in snow capped winter terrain set trees or marine set plants, with the other standard tree (types) sets. 

My best analogy (since I don't have a clue) would be an addition to the existing terrain sets to include certain winter type trees for snow capped regions of a non winter terrain, etc.

There are limitations on how may types of trees can be in one set. We can not simply add more trees to existing sets with out increasing  video mem requirements.
