That's how I do it. xD
The alphamap on talliis usually looks messed uo that way, but it's not like it's important or even visible for that matter. xD

And what about the graß vaiations?
You coud amke a tutorial from this stuff. Would be nice

When I'll have time I try to do some tutorial on grass, but I haven't the exact procedure. Just play with it.

Yes alphamap in taliis look messed but Never mind

Depends, they can be used efficiently if you know how, i'm going to look further into that topic, alpha map would spare you a lot of work (i suppose that this land took a load of time)

Unfortunately I don't know how they can  spare me a lot of work

Yes you have right, it takes some time. I can do it fast without details or slowly and properly
I prefer quality over quantity.

You can make a fixed layer of texture that is uniform all over the map, then export the alpha layer and edit in in photoshop (which has better tools, and you can make a sample edge and copy-paste it, or use filters, blendings etc... and make it really advanced) as png file, then you import in back and WOW! your textures are all done and detailed.

Hey that sounds good. I have to try it
And how can I know which textures I'm using now in photoshop??
Or is somewhere tutorial on it?

[Steff]

Start with a clear adt.
Paint layer 1 over all chunks.
Painter layer 2 over all chunks
etc.
Export layers with Taliis (i will implement this also into noggit)
Edit them and re import.

Thanks I tried it and really works.
But i'm not sure which way of texturing is better. Because you have to paint every layer separately and don't know how it will look in noggit.
And I think there will be problem with edges of adts. Because you paint only one.

Maybe I would rather prefer the texturing in noggit.

I think its good for creation fast a big area pretextured. But the ground should always get textured inside noggit. Its god for basic texturing.
BTW: Eluo was the first done this some time ago.

True, i used it a bit but i got tired soon, i have to pick it up anyway again sooner or later, can't handpaint everything always...

Hi I would like to show you next two images from my land.
I tryed to spawn some doodads trees, bushes etc.
I decide to use mulgore trees. First I wanted to use alterac but I thing so this looks better.

Finaly I made concept. It will be Wolfridge Mountains. Thre are one tauren willage, one small destroyed human willage and humman keep and many interesting places. I have a lots of ideas But time is my enemy
