project earth

Soooo I'm going to need help doing this since it's extremely detail oriented. Not sure if going at this from a full water or full land base is best.


I'm still experimenting with using bo_subtract on different brushes to make the best one for getting water nicely spread and also for coastlines.

I'm estimating around 400+csg for this all the way to 800.

Thinking about using 0 temp earth to make it so no trees bug out while making it in editor and just changin it back to desired temp after

A full water base would be easier IMO, since 71% of the Earth is covered with water.

The problem after that though is what csgs do I use to create decent land. Basically creation of an artificial height map

csg does not look good as land.
Although it'd be more of a hassle, starting with a full land base would probably better, especially since you're going for detail. (although i'm sure the inverse could also be argued )

If anyone can get a custom csg, you could just use models of the continents.

Or we could get terraforming in the system editor

I can make it but it's not playable. And it's just a huge time consuming monster.

To terraform the planet, you can try using moon craters to place the water where you want like i did on Ring

Spoiler

Yes it's kind of ugly but it's all what we've got and it works in terms of gameplay.
