Ciao a tutti
Compaio poiché è la prima volta che scrivo in questa sezione Smile

Sto cominciando in questo mondo, in grazie al sussidio inestimable e nella pazienza di B52, e sono arrivato ad un punto in cui non quel senso seguire.

Desidero a texturizar una terra per un programma, ma non come farlo in modo che sia bene. Ho provato a applicarmi alle strutture nel massimo che seleziona i poligoni (3DS MAX) i sindacati radicali sono lasciati troppo.

Guardando la terra di altri programmi, ho visto che le strutture sono come “l'opacità traccia„….ma non poichè si verificano che sono così buone.

qualcuno potrebbe orientare verso me Question

Hello P@po

So what I would like to do is what you have done with the terrain of your map. Today I applied texture "grass" around the terrain, but I would like to apply to the unevenness of the terrain other texture, more rocky.

B52 guided me regarding the use of the material "MIX", but it is still not functioning. I also tested with the modifier "Vertex Paint", of 3DS MAX, but not how it works.

I am reading manuals, but for my, the management of all these programs is complicated Laughing

Currently, the terrain has a different texture that comes on the image, but if I not explain correctly (my English is bad, sorry Embarassed

), I leave with an
image what I mean: changing the texture of the areas that I have marked,
or those that choose

The map I have done, but I need to solve both optimizing the terrain, using various textures where I choose, and the problem that I have posted about the shadows.... Crying or Very sad

If you want create a mix wit Rock and grass (as my grand valley terrain) do it (sorry 4 my little english):

1-open 3 max 8
2-press M to open Materials menù
3-in BLINN BASIC PARAMETERS click on the square near DIFFUSE (NEAR THE LOCK)
3-When Material MAp Browser , Select MIX, then click OK
Click on "none" of COLOR#1 and load the rock textures (i have used the same textures of graw 2, its reccomanded)
If you want use and open GRAW 2 textures you must extract quick.bundle in bundle folder.
4-At the same, Click on "none" of COLOR#2 and load the grass textures (i have used the same textures of graw 2, its reccomanded)
5-click on "none" near MIX AMOUNT and select vertex color.
6- Now select ALL terrain and apply this mix material.
7-Make a render preview with 3dmax8 (with f10).You should see entire ground painted with rock or grass textures.Dont warry, its all right.
8- paint some areas (The areas that you want )with vertex tool (you found it in modifier list).

9-Now press F10 (render) you must see some areas with grass and some areas with rock.If area's color are inverted dont worry.
The preview of 3dmax8 is different respect real condition in GRAW 2.
You must load terrain in editor and you must look if color position are all right.
If colors are inverted , In your material .xml you must invert the order of materials.
Foor example if you have:

Thanks for the video that you put in GR.net, I was being helpful Smile

. But I have several questions:
The second material to create, is absolutely necessary? Or created to explain how to add more textures?

I had happened on several occasions, before applying the modifier Vertex Paint, I export the terrain without problems. But after using it, when i export, it gives me an error saying that I have reached the limit of vertices (240,000 vs. 65,000).
Is this correct, or am I doing something wrong? My terrain has a size of 300x300m and 200x200 segments.

What I would like to do in my terrain, it is applying a material MIX (with textures grass and sand), and then create another MIX (with textures grass and rocks), and where I want, to paint the rocks. But according to the video, I create the first material MIX and applied correctly. When I create the second, and using modifier Vertex Paint, which paint is not the texture "rocks", but the texture "sand" in the first material that I created.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi all!

After taking some time to "detoxify me" a bit with the problems I had in the map, once again reviving it Laughing

If not understand correctly, I should divide the terrain into two parts
.... but then I have to create two objects into folders World, Unit, Objects ...
with their respective files. XML?
Currently, my terrain is called "terreno".... so would create "terreno1" and "terreno2"? Or is there another way to do it?

Would you be able to comment as they did with the map of B52?

Thanks Smile

P.D.: The truth is that I am completely blocked with the map Crying or Very sad

.... what I have
already done, but can not resolve the issue of textures of the terrain (although I have made some progress) and the shadows inside the tower
and hangars .

I would hope that any of you could take a look
at my files and/or my map, and to understand and help as we can, to
learn how to do it and end this map (I have a tremendous desire to play Very Happy

)

If someone wants to add me, my MSN is: hugo_malaga@hotmail.com (with _ )

Hi Galor
is not a good way do a new object with script, but u can add only any modify at your terreno.xml

add this script line

<body fixed="true" name="landscape2" template="static_ground" max_walk_angle="36">
<object name="root_point"/>
<object name="landscape2" collision_type="mesh_mopp" hidden="false" material="concrete"/>
</body>

<decal_surfaces static="true">

<ds_mesh object="terreno"/>
<ds_mesh object="landscape2"/>

</decal_surfaces>

<lightmap>
<object name="terreno" height="1024" width="1024"/>
<object name="landscape2" height="1024" width="1024"/>

</lightmap>

Nothing

.... can not fix my problems with the map. I managed to split the
terrain into two parts, for rendering power without error excess vertices
.... but now the terrain is totally dark, and textures and more evidence
that I, as usual.

I need help from experts! I am convinced
that my problem is something that I have done in the model MAX, so
whatever you do, I always fails.

Does anyone is encouraged to share their knowledge and time with my map? f3f3

contact me in msn and send screen shot of problems!

Thanks B52, but lately I do not see on MSN....i work all nights, and sleep all day Laughing

Here they leave a video (a quick example, is not the final terrain of my map) as I have done the terrain, as painted with VertexPaint, and the result I get, doing the same thing, but on my map, rocks that apply are very large.

If I use a modifier of tile very low (x4 or x6), I have to divide the ground, because it gives me error when exporting.

When I apply the UVW Map, in Box, it appears that the rocks do not take that value, or need to change the value regardless .... to see if they give me advice....

Thankssssss bounce

Hi all!
I still blocked by the creation of my ground

B52 is trying to help me, but patience is pretty well Basketball

.... that helps to ask more members.
My problem is I make the ground following these steps:

- Open 3DS MAX 8, in mode Hardware with DX9
- Create a plane 300x300m and 150x150 segments.
- Change name to "terreno"
- Create a light and root_point, and link light and ground to root_point
- Convert the ground to Editable Poly
- Add a modifier DISPLACE (i create image .PND with EarthSculptor)
- Add a image of my ground and apply a value of 30 to Strength (now i see my ground).
- Open Material Editor and create a material DX9Shader.
- Select the .fx created for xdxxdy (is the same that use B52) blend.fx
- Change name of texture to "mix_base"
- Select DIFFUSE grass.dds (obtained from the game)
- Select Self_Ilumination sand.dds (idem)
- Select Bump_Normal grass_bump.dds
- Select Distorsion sand_bump.dds
- Apply to the ground (i see the ground with SAND texture)
- Add a Modifier VERTEX PAINT and UVW MAP (to see the textures correctly, with parameters: Box, 3x3x3, in Channel 1)
- Press to Vertex Paint, and drawing with GRASS on the ground.
- When I finish, add another UVWMap with the same parameters, but at
Channel 4
- Add the modifier UnWrap to Channel 4
- To prevent me from problems with the number of vertices generated, I divide the ground in two parts. For that, turn back the ground in Edit
Poly, select Polygons and half the field.
- Select option Detach, and rename that part of the land as "terreno2"
- Again, link the new part to root_point, and center pivots of two grounds.
- Export

- Open editor, select my ground "terreno" and put. I see the ground correctly (although somewhat dark)
- Render and ZASS!!!! The ground appears with many stripes, about the size of the "Tile" that put him in UVWMap (3x3x3)

I have tried everything, even to do it in another computer, to rule that problem was my computer or my graphics card.
That is why I need to see how you create the grounds. If anyone could lose
a few minutes to make a video of the creation of a ground similar to
mine, to see the steps that follows, I would be very very very helpful Embarassed
