I was working on a new DM map for the orignal Half-Life, and I had just finished a great looking, extremely detailed country house using textures from Firearms and HL. BUT! After I finished the house and the yard, including the driveway, it just went downhill from there. The hill because looking square and giant hedges surrounding the arena made no sense. My river was practically a huge square flooding an unclimbable riverbank. The bridge looked like square with rails on it, the town... I'm not even getting into the town.
Anyone have ideas on how to improve this? I've tried Gensurf and 'Nem's Mega 3D Landscaper' or whatever it's called, but it always ends up way too big or not what I'm looking for. 8 triangles do not make 10480x10480 squares in my mind, but it seems to here.
But still, ideas? Motivation? Thanks.
