Terrain Editing Tutorials Series

In our ongoing commitment to improve documentation and the new user experience, I'd like to give you a preview of our first video tutorial series. In this 7 part series I walk beginners through the recreation of the Oregon coast. There may even be a few tricks that experienced level artists pick up :)

After completing this series you will be able to create a new mission, add a heightmap, edit the terrain, apply textures to the terrain, add water and fog, adjust sky and sun parameters, and fill your mission with objects such as rocks, trees and grass using Torque's powerful replicators.

The following videos were created using TGEA 1.7.1 and will be updated for the new Torque 3D tools.

Part One: Creating and Adding a Heightmap

Part Two: Terrain Editing Tools

Part Three: Procedural Texturing

Part Four: Painting the Terrain

Part Five: Waterblocks

Part Six: Atmosphere

Part Seven: Grass & Shape Replicators

I'm really looking forward to feedback on this series. We're working hard to make Torque 3D easier for new users. I have several other series in the works and am interested in hearing ideas on other tutorials the community would like to see.

Thanks!
