By 'community' you mean me right?

hehe, glad to see some video tutorials and narration, they look good and seem to cover the process well, expanding the roof brushes was a bit dodgy but I'll let you get away with that

i dont want to pass on any bad info or bad practice , which part was dodgy ? ill go back and fix it , if it shows anything really dodgy

It's OK - It depends on your mapping style I guess, expanding any brush at an angle is dodgy because it can corrupt it, creating an infinite brush - luckily CODWAW seems to have a better history so you can ctrl-z without worrying too much.

Other methods would eb the E tool or the clipper but if it works it works

your absolutly right about that , it can do , i think aslong as you stay in the same grid for it and pull at the same angle the brush is facing you shoudnt have a problem

ill add a general note of warning about adjusting any type of angled brush

thats why ive kept these in the same thread so people can read the discussion about stuff like this

after getting a terrain lesson last night, i can vouch that simple tips can be lost in written tutorials!

keep it up

will do FAFFER

ive also thought about what you said techno and i agree complete;y , so ive pulled the original one and will do one that doesn't include anything that may cause a problem

ill upload as soon as possible

so , after considereing the brief discuassion about the dragging of angled brushes (cheers Techno) i decided to red-o the tutorial and ended up making a better one , i think anyway

this tutorial although similar to the first show's a few new techniques for doing stuff and worth alook even if you watched the first, so in the end due to the different ways i showed , i decided to leave the first tutorial active and call this one detailed roof part two , imaginative huh ?

Intermediate : Detailed roof part 2



hope it helps

Excellent mate very well done - Say your name at the beginning though so everyone knows who's made the video and who they are listening to!

And just 1 tip, the bit where you wanted to easily select the patch instead of the brush, right click any object in the 3d window and it brings up a menu, if there are multiple surfaces you can tick which ones you want easily.

Keep em coming !

I just watched one of them, great job! Quality is nice and thanks for uploading those. :)
