The
Parent Trap
Part 3
Next
lets look at land. Raising land is a great way to add depth to your
map, but can also look bad if you do not spend the time needed to
clean it up. The editor does exactly what you do with your mouse
so if you raise land in straight strokes, your land will look the
same. Try to be a little bit loose with your mouse and allow land
to curve and sway.
 Here
is a small hill that has been placed on the map with little effort.
 Now
if you take that same hill and add a bit of depth to it, you will
end up with something resembling this hill on the right.
 This
will give your users a better feel for the map. Next you need to
add features to the hill to create the realistic picture you wish
to portrait. Something along the line of the picture on the left
adds to the fun of the adventure.
If
you take all of these simple tips and spend a bit of time you will
see that using the editor can be a lot of fun. Remember to spend
time on your maps. No need to hurry, because a well-polished product
will be much more enjoyable than a hurried product.
Have
fun all.
