 Re: Making an incline (Hammer editing)

I'm wondering the best way how to make a 20-35 degree incline with a road texture (like a road going uphill).

I've looked at the displacement tool and it seems a little overkill for something so simple. I think a good analogy to use would be to imagine I am trying to make a wheelchair access ramp into a building (obviously just for reference, I owuld make it on a larger scale and apply road texture etc.)

Thanks for for your time.

make biiiiiig box.....cut/split big box side to side, diagonaly, corner to corner.....s**tcan the top half.....done. or, make long skinny brush....use skew tool...stretch to fit, vertex manipulate the ends and corners.....viola! done....

theres a multitude of ways man, use your imagination, and be familiar with the tools.....the sky, er skybox, is the limit!!! <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">

Make a box.

Right-click on the object and go to transform.

Type 20 or 35 into the correct axis (you can expiriment with which one is right)

Click ok, and you have a perfectly sloped ramp, just vertex manip to fit.
