Grid Edges/Sides

[stouthm]

Looking at the screenshot, is there a way to texture or color the sides of the taller grid?

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to color them.

There is a backdrop in the picture. I just need a really tall one.

I wonder if you could add on and create some really steep slopes, but that might be a lot of work with questionable results.

This gives me an idea...

I don't have the capability to make anything like this however maybe someone can.

Instead of backdrops standing up, how about one that hangs over the edge barely and is held on to the baseboard by "clips". What these clips do is put the backdrop on the baseboard but allows it to hang down over the edge into the space. If it's not connected to the baseboard, then this wouldn't work.

Anyone up for a try?

Hello, world-builders !

The river after the bridge falls in a hole - A big hole...

Why don't you create a big lake ?

Easy, I think ! you create the hills, paste the grass and the forest upon the hills, and expand the water !

Enjoy

Excellent idea. never thought of that. I'll give it a try.

There are also some great backdrops that are very tall. Most of them are skies/clouds and things like that. You could reskin them to have anything on them. Put those at the edge to hide what's beyond them. Or, you could shorten visual distance enough to make the distant edges go away.

Bill, do you know the kuids of the tall backgrouds? I really don't want to search through a hundred or more assets looking for tall ones. Thanks.

 

[HiBaller]

Sure. Search for "EMM MR Wall" or "EMM MR Backdrop" in CM. Specific KUIDs are:

KUID 166065:108770 (this one has clouds on a blue background)
KUID 166065:108769
KUID 166065:101904

Graham creaded these for T:ANE, but they work just fine in other versions.

It may be stating the obvious, but you could also avoid viewing the route from aircraft height - place cameras at ground level where judicious planting if trees and slight slopes will hide edges.....

I mostly drive from the cab so my views are through the front windshield.
