Additional Rock Styles - by Tiger

1. Pointed pyramid-shaped brushes


The first additional rock style is based on pyramid-shaped brush which is useful for the transition from Rock to the ground. So simply create a rectangle brush and use the drag edges function to make it pyramid brush.


Then put it somewhere into your existing rock-wall. You will notice that it doesn't fit very well so use the drag vertices function to give it the right look.

2. Overhanging brushes


Another additional rock style is based on an overhanging brush which looks good in combinations with rectangle walls. One way to create such a brush is to make a triangle then use the drag edges function to make it overhanging and finally play around with the cutting function to make it more detailed Now select it and put it into your wall (somewhere at the
top) and use the drag vertices function to change the size and to fit it in a good looking position. But then the edges will stand out of the wall which doesn't look very well (I marked this parts in the picture). So the next step will be to cut off all these parts.

3. Final look


Now your rock-wall is ready only combine it with a good looking ground and you have a nice outdoor map.
