Terrain Editing template for Blender (NOW PAINT! in 3D too)

Postby jojoestinky » Sat Jul 21, 2012 9:34 am

This package lets you sculpt your terrain in Blender 3D.
http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/
It has 2 templates. 1 for sculpting your heightmap, and the other for 3D terrain painting goodness!
Updated file:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1660874/Downlo ... -paint.zip

Here is the terrain sculpting tutorial/overview:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1660874/Download/tutorial.jpg

UPDATE!
OK I added texture painting!
Open up the paint.blend file for painting your textures!
Just make a copy of your existing images and rename them to _color.bmp, and _heightmap.bmp.
Then open the paint template and everything should be automatically loaded.

It is so easy to use, the entire tutorial is on 1 image!! If you can use Microsoft paint... You can use this template!

If you import OBJ files from qubicle, just press S, then type .0039 ad press enter. It should be to perfect scale :)
Great for laying out where your buildings will be.


There will be a video soon!

YOU NEED BLENDER TO RUN THE TEMPLATE :

Very fun application. You only need to learn .01% of it though with my template set. It is very simple once you do it once or twice.

Good deal, hope you get it to work for you i am on IRC, and can answer simple questions.
I will be adding more features today while I make some terrain maps, so stay tuned. (watch this thread, push the subscribe button)
i will get the video ready as soon as all the features are in place.

Also, the download file contains content made by Buildrammer and Ken Silverman (Bitmap2AoS converter, voxxed, respectively.)
Be sure to thank them! This tool would not be possible without their help.

I hope you guys just try it yourself in the meantime. I still need a video ripper. One that outputs SWF, and FLV preferably , FFMPEG is a pain in the $%^ to use all the time. Cam studio hates me, and abuses blind children while they are not looking. I can not get it to work with my system. I just get dayglow pink and garbled audio.

I can not use FAPPS either. the video is going to be 12+ minutes long, and i am not going to pay anything.
I have ubuntu in a VM, so I can do it in linux too.


i just updated the main file BTW, ^^^ look in the first post. ^^

There are Perlin clouds that sort of break up the solid colors a bit. Going to play with more noise functions to mix things up a bit.

Blender is rather hard for inexperienced people, but your tutorials are awesome and make it Easy(ier).

JoeJoe, I need some help, when I opened the file, I cannot seem to see it in colour, on the left side (user persp), it is just the outlines of the starting map. :<
