[millzy]

ok im going to be making some cinematics and i know that in cinematics the terrain is very important, so im going to make some terrains befor i get into making my cinamtics what i need from use is that i am asking for what is good for a starting terrainer to terrain and some tips/tricks to makign the terrain AND YES IV READY MANY TOURTORIALS

also iv got this problem that in game and if the camera is far away it goes all black or sometimes the sky shows through the terrain i know that in the WE u can hold ctrl and scroll.is there any way of getting around it????. iv got i pic to show what im talking about here (please remember the terrain is not finished its just to show this problem)

To get rid of the black stuff, go to Scenario->Map Options and untick Use Terrain Fog, as for your other problem, i don't exactly understand.

what dont u understand

 

[Piwlady]

that sky thing, that just doesn't any sense, i can't see anything odd there

 

[millzy]

does this show what im talking about better??? instead of it being black it will come up with what ever iv set the sky as.it happends in game when the terrain is too far away
also can we go back to the main thing im asking for??

 

[Piwlady]

now i understand. when your camera is far away and there is those black or sky thingies, press ctrl + scroll back with mouse, that's it. Boo-yah!

Edit: oh, i read the whole thread again. No damn idea what you can do then

I have a tip - maybe read a tutorial about thing you don't know or if there isn't a tutorial ask us about it

EDIT: sorry didn't read the first post, maybe start with some terrains first (not start with a whole cinematic) and maybe after 1 month you will have a bit more experience and see some things that are needed and you don't see them now
