Generating Forests & More

[SteffenBrand]

Hey folks,

I worked out a new technique how to generate top-down forests for semi-realistic maps. This thread used to contain a very short description, but I got the time to make - my first ever! - tutorial or guide. =)

Let me know what you think, any advice, rating or reputation boost is very much appreciated. Also, feel free to test and post your results here and help yourselves out. I'll try to answer all questions you might have if I can.

Sharing is caring =)
Cheers, Steffen


This is the up-to-date-version of this tutorial (v.1.02):


Scanned styrofoam for you to use and try:

I'm finished working on the tutorial. It has 13 pages and will cover more than just the forests including my process for this one, thoughts on the matters at hand and some more humorous references. Well, I think it's funny

Hope you can use this! The first post will always be the most up-to-date-version I have.

Edited some mistakes on the PDF and updated it =)

The first comment, yay! I was starting to think this tutorial isn't that helpful.
Thanks, THW! =)

Edit to Post below: Haha, thanks =)

Not only that, but I should have given you some rep, too. Better late than never, I guess.
