INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Firstly, Get a mesh, Have two copies of it (in the same position)
  2. Secondly, Chose one of the copies (Copy1), resize it from the center making the mesh slightly larger than the other (Copy2), as a result covering the other mesh,
  3. Lastly, set the material and color to black forcefield.

Thank you! And I don’t really use blender so for the terrain I used Cinema 4D.

I’ve never heard of that technique. Is there a tutorial for it on YouTube or on the dev forum somewhere? Anyways, your build looks amazing.:+1:

It looks super good! The part I liked the most is how you surround the map with mountains to make it feel continuous and adds a feeling of it being bigger.

Good work and never used Cinema 4D. I’m cheating on Blender with Maya and Mudbox atm.

I feel ya, Cinema 4D is widely known as the easiest autodesk software without all the dumb shizam Maya does.
I’d suggest open sourcing this if you don’t plan to expand or modify this, cool work.

#19

I will open source it as soon as i get some time to do so.
