best of both worlds.. Imported HF but Cool terrain?
Posted: Wed Apr 25, 2007 12:29 pm
Hey all,
I have a problem..
I have a number of islands that must retain the same shape as the HF i have with a couple of specific places that must be mountains and cliffs and a few lakes. (the lakes must remain the same sort of shape and in the same place)
The problem is that when i create a design map using the sliders it destroys my land mass and creates loads of smaller islands around the main landmass.
Is there any way I can keep my rough island shape, i don't mind slight erosion and the like but i do want all the cool random terrain to be created around the areas than must remain the same.
I want alot of varying land on this island and erosion to the sea etc.
Is there any way i can paint areas to have specific features without ruining my island shape?
sort of like a transparency lock in photoshop.
Everything can be randomly created but the lakes, but they all must be in a particular place.
Any ideas how i can randomly create this?
Also i am unsure of the design map sliders...maybe i am doing something wrong?
And i have tried the design map pencil but i find the island shape suffers somewhat
Did any of that make sense?
lol
Thanks all
