Having a lot of trouble with making a terrain mask~
« on: January 11, 2014, 06:31:42 pm »
As the title says, I'm having some trouble. Normal, 3 color height masks I can make in 10 minutes or less, but I'm trying to use Sameth's tutorial for a 6 colour terrain mask. I've tried several times, and I just /can't/ do it. I would GREATLY appreciate if someone could maybe.. Personally help me make it? I don't have one specific question to ask, so I don't think I can be helped here on the forum. If anyone knows how to make a 6 colour terrain mask in layers, PM me and maybe you can help me? I would LOVE the help ASAP!! Thank you! <3

I'm trying to, but I find it extremely difficult, and just get frustrated. Maybe I'm not understanding it properly. That's why I want someone to help me, just so they can monitor what I do and make sure I do it right.

I looked at Sameth's tutorial and was able to create a working 6 coloured terrain mask. I understand it so if you want we can go through the process and steps together and see what you're having trouble with :)

Make sure it is all done on one layer only. Also make sure there is no Alpha Channel/Transparency included within the mask :)
