Conan:
Bump.
Conan:
I'll start doing weekly bumps since I'm active on the forums.
It's kinda sad nobody bothers to post here; this is also a question-answer area for people who want help.
Im_AFK:
how is this for landscaping? it took an entire hour and a half for this sucker
the build is on a 64x64; 963 bricks, takes capabilities of bricks, ramps, rounds, and plant bricks to the extreme by mashing them all together.
pretty pictures
Conan:
very well done, though coloration is a little difficult to tell except for one picture.
only comment is that the "river" or lake section is a little small for such a deep river. And the mini "islands" or surface-breaking sandbars are a little close to shore, and weirdly built, like a sharp hill underwater (which is rather unlikely)
to keep those "islands" i'd advise varying the riverbed height by keeping it relatively shallow but dipping slightly as it goes farther out, and rise it back up as it approaches the sandbar, then drop it downwards past the sandbar. Or in other words, raising the height of the riverbed up until the sandbar.
Example Picture:
Note how its relatively shallow, then past the sandbar out to sea, it goes deeper?
I should have included this idea in the river section, before I quit...
Im_AFK:
ty, that sounds good, ill get right on top of that starting tomorrow, I have this little neat trick for shallowing w/ crest ramps, and would like an oppinion on that as well pls
