Re: Terrain Texturing Tips
there is a better way use a composite material - setup the different materials and then it gets a little tricky, you paint opacity masks for the different mats - i used a 3d painter prototype script which let me paint the masks directly onto the geometry (i used a .fx shader to get realtime feedback of the mixed terrain… -

Lots of places want folks who can be both formidible artists and brillant techs. Another route is writing, games need scripts and stories.… -

Camera work typically sucks in getting to game engine as well. The main problems with using a game… -
