How to make a Beach?

[Brett]

how can i create i nice little coast/beach im having trouble finding a way to make it not look repetative and not empty at the same time

well a beach might seem repetitive and empty... is it a playable map?

How big is it?

 

[-ALPHA-]

Rocks, critters, scattered palm trees, etc. will all add a nice bit of variety.

There is a wonderful beach sand texture on another wc3 page
Since I am forbidden to link it (don't ask me.. ask rui) I will upload the rescource for you.

(replaces the Ruin sand which looks so dark)

sadly, it looks like snow in game. (Default game camera)

Also, if you're not using a far up camera, your terrian will look like it has a grinds, just like the ones from World Editor.

It takes more than just terrain type to make an environment. Doodads are just as important, if not moreso.

sand "DOES" look like snow at night. in the morning, it will most likely lighten up

Argh forgot to mention

It was something that you must only use terrain type 1? (type is wrong -.- but i don't remember the right word)

Gosh there are 2 things (I believe its something like the variation with doodas.) and you must only use the first one...
