I'm wondering the best way how to make a 20-35 degree incline
with a road texture (like a road going uphill).
<br style="color: white; font-family: Verdana;"><br style="color: white; font-family: Verdana;">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.)<br style="color: white; font-family: Verdana;"><br style="color: white; font-family: Verdana;">Thanks for for
your time.

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.
