Making outdoor maps

[Deathwish-uk-]

Do I need to do anything different to making an indoor map? And I want the terrain to be uneven. I want to have some rebel squads assaulting a combine OP, on the summit of a small hill. How can I place trees, bushes, make ditches for cover, etc?

block the map with regular brushes (for occlusion), then cover them with displacement brushes, then add all your tree's and such on there.

stuff using occlutions... use the decal brush on the side menu... to use it:
1. Select the decal you want to put onto a wall or so on...
2. Select the decal Brush
3. Click in the 3d view were you want the decal to appear

If that helps

remember to have an invisible solid brush floor beneth your displacement map or you'll have a giant leak
