How to create models in XSI and other 3D applications and make them work in Battlefront 1 & 2. Post models, tips for application usage and share anything XSI, 3DMax, SketchUp, etc.
Terrain done in Mudbox
The Texture is rougly made in World Machine and Mudbox.
Ive got a pm to do a wireframe Pic and post it here but its impossible you just cant see anything because its so high res. I am sorry. As soon as I have a lower res full textured and all that i'll post one i promise

I tried something really similar but I just created small parts of the terrain and I used Sculptris. Did Mudbox put the painting to one file or how does it work? I don't know much about Mudbox, but Sculptris creates one texture file for the whole object and that's the problem why you can't do a huge terrain there...
Ive never used Mudbox before its just so easy to use
The texture is 1 2048² and its just one file yes
The Tri count is 2048² because its a heightmap like that (I am not going to use it in this High resolution in BF2. Thats the Cryengine Niveuao. But I am going to extract some normal maps out of it to make it look nice with 512²)
Yeah 2048^2 is a bit high. Not because the engine couldn't handle that many triangles, but because Zero Editor would likely poop itself and die if you tried to import it. The terrain is 7 digits, so a modeled terrain of the same calibur should be fine.
However 512^2 is vastly more reasonable and makes a lot of sense.

That's very similar to something that I did with the same tools a long, long time ago
As soon as Fiodis releases his heightmap zeterrain tool
