[GUIDE] How To Terraform an SG Map

[BlueHeron]

A question- I know how to overlay with one block, but how can i overlay with for example 50%grass and 50%snow?

You'd have to overlay the area with grass first, and then do /b sover g5000 + /v snow_block and go over again with that. You might have to relog for the sover brush to work.

So... I did some terraforming. Opinions?

Looks good! Only I would probably make the arch less curved and more straight, looks a little bit too much like a rainbow, unless that's what you were going for Sean

Looks good but as Orym said it is a bit round, tonight when I have time I will add to this guide the way to make cool arches . But for a 1st attempt you have got the right idea

Thanks for the support!
I tried looking for arch tutorials, but I got these guys who tried to sound really professional while what they were making was terrible.
I guess the only way is making your own ways.

I will try make a quick tutorial there for you give me 30 min to 45 min.

This would look nice with the official "Guide" tag. Nominated. Well done.

There is 2 ways to make arches using Voxel Sniper. 1) Boring through a mountain. 2) Using voxels to make a arch spanning a gap.

1) Boring.

• The first thing you do is create your mountain where you want the arch.
  
• The next step is to use a voxel brush but the block you use is air. For example. /b b /b8 /b air and create a hole through the mountain like this.
  
• The next step is to use a smaller voxel brush with air and make the base wider as shown bellow.

• The next step is to blend it melt it ect. Just make it look good.
  
• You have now created your arch. Now create a river or what you want under it.

• After you add the finishing touches it should look like this. (This arch is not the same as the one in the picture it is just one I could find quick that I could show you.

2) A arch spanning 2 gaps.

• Step 1. You want to create a gap that is will span. This can be a cliff or mountain what ever you want.

• Step 2 is to use voxels to create a arch. Do not make the arch to round and try have it sloping ect. Make it look realistic.

• The next step is to use smaller voxels and create a wide base at both ends of the arch.

• You then want to blend it, melt it ext. Make it look smooth and realistic.

• You have now completed your arch and once you add detail such as overlaying ect it should look something like this.

This is really interesting, I'll try this out for a map I'm currently working on. Thank you c:

No problem, if you need help with any more aspects of terraforming feel free to ask me
