Terrain Struggles.

[CBolitho 2]

Hey! I have been part of the ARMA community for a few years now and throughout these years I have been doing texturing, it has got to the point where I do not find it rewarding and I want to try something new, I decided to get into terrain making and do a map in the middle east as I have a large interest in what is going on there currently. The problem I am having is how to get started it has been confusing on where to start and what I will need. I have seen some threads scattered around but having trouble trying to connect everything. I was hoping someone could help me  with getting started.

 

Regards,

Start with

Jakes guide comes with a pre-made example, great way to start and everything works if followed correctly, do it over and over, tweaking things as you go until you master the basics.

 

Then move on to http://pmc.editing.wiki/doku.php?id=arma3:terrain:ultimate-terrain-tutorial

Snakes guide will show you start to finish how to make a real life or fictional location, with the knowledge gained with Jakes guide you'll have no problems.

 

If you do have problems or just want to chat to other terrain builders, there's a Skype group and Discord, you can even use these forums

 

For Skype use skype:?chat&blob=0fX9co5RUhdVQHW6xppPGhCZ7nEB9bF6QodMXGMgItkVtXBZh1VmW___xK2TKF4beC2UpGcj46PiindI09BEFRsejVGZpcAN1IkVOiuHDS9ttYYDHRYSjC6qXzDsIyCzdoyP2sriB9QXsufSfddMirTAA2Vnr_z36p0xiyUcwcYHNzRMKv6CWTNOPB4XQ2HjFSjjTY1HYfDJ-EffZ_iLSMKq8IiLgzxsSrx8HA4

I would love to see a very detailed Middle East terrain. There are some but the "detail" is lacking. Here is a small contribution for your project that you find useful. It's a bunch of aerial photos taken in the Middle East. These are not professional pics but rather can be used for reference.

Hey thanks, I will definitely use these for the final stages of the maps development, just trying to get the base terrain done first haha.
