Cave like wall and roof and floor

(sQynor) #1

Is there an easy way to make a cave like structure, gently cut to be caulked. without making all the triangles and drag them. Because i want to make the inside of a mountain, and that would otherwise cost alot of time and effort.

Thanks in advance.

just an idea -
use easy gen to make a terrain - as you need your tunnel roof an floor -
then insert the roof rotate it and retexture it,
same with floor - then you just need to make the side walls manually
maybe this works?!

Another idea:
Create only one fourth.
Than mirror this part.
Which gives half of the mountain.
Mirror again at the other axis.
This would result in a symetrical cave.

You can use patches, convert them to ase - and use that for your inside of the mountain, though clipping is another story and should be done manually. Though I made once some caves with patches one patch for the floor, roof, and each side of the walls … and the autoclipping worked fine.
Unfortunately only gtk1.4 manages to handle patches with all features - like removing a row or adding one (as far as I know).
