CiM 2 Map Editor Video Tutorials

OlaHaldor · 2013-04-03T00:30:45+00:00

Just like with the original CiM, I jumped right into the map editor before actually playing the game. I can't help it. I love learning and make stuff. So I'm sharing my discoveries with you. This is fairly basic stuff so far. If you haven't touched the map editor or don't know how to use it, this is for you. More to come when I learn more about the editor myself. SCULPTING A MAP WITH 3D COAT I take map making a step further by sculpting the terrain in 3D Coat, before I use World Machine to add erosion. Sculpting in 3D Coat is mostly the same as what you can do in-game, but it's much faster, and you can use a whole lot of different tools to make things more interesting faster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmjJigm6hHU WORLD MACHINE to CiM2! This video covers creating a height map which can be imported to CiM2 using Maps4CiM. With World Machine you can design and generate terrains as you imagine them. World Machine has been used in Battlefield 3 and 4, to make the stunning scenery surrounding the battles.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcXuRNjk9GQ I've also made a playlist for the videos. 01 - Basic navigation of the UI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MeVZtjSV0Y 02 - Generate and edit terrain, learn about the different brushes and plant tons of trees http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uok19ub0wrA 02b - Update on the height and flatten brushes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu2SQuZbqK4 03 - Roads and splines! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J6CCouenzM 04 - Populating the city http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=disy0Zle_ZQ 05 - More on generating terrains More on using Voroni, Perlin Noise and Fractal filters to randomly generate terrain. Look at it as a base for further editing and designing the landscape as you wish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5U7_0uT8uA 06 - Additional info on placing objects http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tucngiQ8QC0 07 - Quick tip on placing roads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_QEhjDt5sM 08 - A quick "how to" on making alternative bus lanes and stops between one-way roads and intersections. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=070hr5iNMFE 09 - Create real cities! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psTf-EoYkDw
