rlackore Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 There are no significant landscape improvements from X7 to X8. In my opinion complex landscapes are very difficult to create using Chief's tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Post some screen shots of what you have so far and maybe someone will have a few suggestions or pointers for you. It is mostly a matter of getting the contours correct and applying high quality materials to the surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I disagree with Robert on Chief being difficult for complex topography, The feature was added in Version 7 and has not changed much since then. It is a matter of learning to make a change with elevation objects and then evaluating that change before moving on to the next change. I have found that importing topography from surveyors or other software tends to create an unmanageable product, too complex for most personal computers to parse per second, so I try to keep mine as simple as possible using manually the tools at hand. I import a graphic topo and then trace over it, checking each change I make as I make it in camera views. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
