Hey guys! I am starting to test out different ways to set up a sort of river with islands in it that will run around the level I am working on, which is The Home Of Crimson Moon, or THOCM. I plan to put a sort of rock wall around the edge to act as the boundary for the level, or at least on one of the sides. Suggestions welcome. Also, I know this is poor, but I only worked on it for 5 minutes as a test.

A test of what? It has no lighting. :\ Don't really know what to say. It just doesn't look like you introduced any new concepts, so what's to test?

Well basically, I'm new at this editing thing and I'm no good at it. Therefore, all concepts are new to me and I come here to ask for suggestions from more experienced editors.

Is this better than? I need to figure out how to use fog though...

- That texture on the island is really repetitive. Fit it to the island(Select it, hit SHIFT+F [edit: Or if it's a patch mesh, hit 's' to bring up the surface editor and under 'curves' press 'fit'. Make sure the numbers in the boxes are 1 and 1]) and see how it works.

- Volumetric fog is evil. It is a major frame-rate hog and makes compile times extremely long.

- Shape of the island looks good.

- You may want to get rid of the floating plants.


My 2 cents.

The water texture is also quite repetetive. You should also fix the z fighting error.

All's well that ends well; if it ever ends at all.

Okay. I did this before your comments, so I'll fix the rest tomorrow. In this shot, I changed the volumetric fog to whatever the low-hovering fog is called. I also changed the island texture to fit and I think that that was it. I need to change the water texture and take away the floating plants later.
