[English]How to make a curve - the next step!

OK, this is what we're going to make:

Nice, eh? How did I make that, y'say? Well, I'll tell ya. Let's get started. First, select the NULL texture (if you don't have this texture, add zhlt.wad in the .wad list). Then select the Arch Tool. Create a 512x512x16 brush (the height is important!). Now, that popup window appears... take a look what I did:

Pay close attention! You see? Add height: 16. Now we have a nice NULL textured spiral stairway... good! But, hmm, we wanted a nice curve going up, right? OK, select the ig button (ignore group) and select the lowest brush. Now select the Clip Tool TWICE and clip it in half so you get 2 triangles. Take a close look:

Clip it, and you'll notice we now have 2 brushes for the first step instead of one. Now select the Vertex Editing Tool and select one brush. Raise some of the vertici so it goes up. Take a very close look at the following pictures:

TO

Now raise that other vertice of that other brush.

Get out of the Vertex Editing Tool mode and see for yourself. The first step already goes up nicely! Now repeat these steps (clipping the brush so you get 2 triangles, raise the vertici), and repeat, repeat, repeat... until you get to the top, which should look like this:

Tired already? Too bad... because we still have to add the sidewalk. Select the Arch Tool again and create a 384x384x32 brush. You know the drill:

Now, do the same thing you did to the last arch. You'll notice you will get a nice sidewalk. Let's see how it would look like:

Phew... now the other one. Create a 640x640x32 brush (yes... the Arch Tool)...:

Do the same like you did with the other arches. Now, we're almost done, we still have some texturing to do. Select the Texture Application Tool and select all the faces of the sidewalks. Texture them with the same asphalt texture I used in the previous tutorial:

OK, now the road. First give all the faces that road texture. Then select the two upper faces. Make sure Treat as one is checked! Now rotate the texture... if you do it correctly, you will get the same rotation degrees as those in the previous tutorial. In this case, the upper faces will get a rotation of -4.00 degrees. Look:

Now, again, repeat this over and over. So, every time, select two faces and rotate them. And in the end, you'll get something like this:

Congrats! You're done!

i dont have a texure pack named zhld.wad

and this stuff is in bad need on my map.

I think It's possible to make your own texture, but you give them the same name as those in zhlt.wad

it is, I use such ones, to save me room for an extra wad B)

Which gridsize is yoy using? (Because, I cant the vertexes right, unless I use 1 unit.)

andur · **Posted:** Thu Sep 30, 2004 3:48 am

dont know about naigel but i use 8. a gridsize what everyone should use!

The grid should be on 1 unit if you want to move the vertici.

Is your map compiling without problems?

Because mine give this:

And, none of the brushes named there is actually outside the map...

No, u're right

GoTo bruch number and Check/delete the invaid brush and redo it

It looks like much but actually it's 6 invalid brushes
