I used Houdini to generate terrain, river (via spline), obstacles and automatically place foam-particles to slopes (waterfall) and obstacles. Here is my thread with detailed information This thread contains links to two tutorials I used as main…
Hello, Thanks for the GREAT tutorials!!!! I used the tutorials here to create a player model for Q3. It worked fine as a player model or a bot.
