I bet this isn't that original, but I'll post it anyway. I started terrain for a simple metropolitan city that may or may not become an "Escape from New York" type of deal, and this is what I've got so far. First I'm trying to see if I can even make decent structures, then I'll position 'em to look like streets and such. Keep in mind that I'm on a Mac and up until recently (thanks to Nai's UnKnown Edit), I haven't been able to do any sort of special terrain editing for any maps so I'm a total newb at this. Please don't be too harsh... :><: http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/1900/badlandsmm8.jpg EDIT: The smaller non-building things were concepts for small lightposts that I may put around the city.

Hey, inferno, I think you should identify the blends that aren't blocky with something like [color=#CE091D][*][/color] so people can watch only the good ones... because as I check the pictures, I see many are only nice tries, but no more since it's so much blocky...

Ladder updated, a lot of you descended and a lot of you ascended, a lot.

Here's another thing I'm working on. Again, not too original, but I think I'm at least getting the hang of this. http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/5214/junglebridgesr4.jpg

Not bad. What editor are you using? If you're using Scmdraft, I recommend using rectangular terrain to randomize the water, because the waves look repetitive.

The middle of the bridge mainly uses 2 tiles. You only used 1. and By that I mean the bridge doodad, not the rest you included in there. Just a slight thing you can fix, but yeah you will get the hang of this terraining soon. ^^

I remember a while back there was news of an SCM Draft for Mac, but I believe that completely fell through. Ultimately I'll just put random tiles around it myself, so that wont be an issue. :)

Devlin, the roof is awesome, but I dislike your bridge. It seems easy, like there's nothing new there. It's blocky of course, but fixable. Even when fixed, though, I don't think it's ladder worthy, unless you can add in something new.

You're getting the hang of Terraining :D . I'll update in a few hours.

For my part, I have no idea on what to do that could be new :S
