Good program for generating terrain?

Post by Asterix »

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows a great program for making terrain.
I am essentially trying to build a small hill on which I will place machinegun nests and some houses. It's for a DM map...

I have looked at Terragen this morning but was wondering if it is easier to build a hill with brush options in Radiant. For example a 7 sided cone which I will modify to death while adding extra faces...

Please help... Thx

For something as simple as one small hill you should try using LOD, theres a million posts here all about it, should be an easy task for you :)

Try learning about the "load from image" part of LOD, very nice and easy.

"If I win this war, you will be slaves forever."
The Spartan ephors sent back a one word reply: "If".
