Cliffs...? Created 17 years ago2007-02-15 15:48:51 UTC by Felix The Third

Though I'm a pretty experienced mapper, I've never actually gotten around to making cliffs, or even decent-looking caves. When I attempt to make cliffs or caves, they come out fake-looking and crappy.

Does anyone have any tips on sculpting cliffs and caves? Even a tutorial? Thanks.

Using triangle-method for cliffs is gonna have a big impact on the r_speeds. Instead, I would recommend you looking into some more low-poly cliff tutorial at Snarkpit. Like this one: http://www.snarkpit.net/editing.php?page=tutorials&game=HL&id=14

Yup, that method that Killer-Duck recommended is great. Still, it's not impossible to have low-poly triangle terrain, just as long as you don't overdo it with the detail.

I've created a really lowpoly terrain using the method described in the snarkpit tutorial. There is a short continuation to that cliff tutorial in here.

Here is another higher poly terrain tutorial.

Wow. Thanks.

Wow. I've never actually looked through the SP tutorials, but I just read a bunch...pretty damn good. I actually learned something in a couple of 'em
