    Hey guys,

    As the title says, has anyone in the past few months created a how to video on creating a terrain from scratch? I know there is an in game level editor, but I'm talking about starting fresh and then using the models/assets the devs have on their official maps to create something new. (if that's legal)

    I've seen that you can just use the gridmap and delete everything except the vegetation, but I would like to just start from scratch and just work on importing textures/models.

    What I'm looking for is a way to make Torque's level editor easier to understand, kind of like how Far Cry's map editor is so easy and comprehensive to play with. I would love to get started making maps/terrain but there hasn't been a video uploaded to youtube on this subject for over a year and a half.

    Thanks! :)

    Awesome man, thanks!

    I've already got a concept, now I just need to learn how to properly import textures/forest files from other maps to get more variety. As well as exporting properly so the game will recognize it as a real "map". :)


    Edit*

    How do you actually edit the terrain on the new map you created?
