#Geo control 2 generator#
Simple as that!Īlso remember that bf2hmt can be used in the same way with any other landscape generator or photoshop.
To texture your primary terrain in terragen just import the heightmapprimary.raw in geocontrol and save as. There will always be some stitching problems with the surrounding and main terrain so keep that in mind when designing your maps. If you havent done this already create a basic 256 level in bf2editor:Īfter some BF2_tpaint we have a complete basic map with surrounding terrain in like 5 minutes! Save always in TIFF format, we save as test.tiff with standard options. Ill resize mine to 771x771 (Image - Image Size) Open it up in Photoshop with these values for raw import:Īnd resize to the figures shown in theory: raw, ill just save mine in "My Documents" as test.raw. Now we export, I just do "Normalize" and export as. Use the zoom button to just work with your playable area
#Geo control 2 how to#
Geocontrol is very memory friendly, even 4096 size can be used with as little as 512mb ram, but you do need a fast CPU to get decent speeds when sculpting the terrain with high demanding filters like erosion.Īs you can see the grid separetes the surrounding terrain from the playable area directly in geocontrol. Learn how to use the selector tool in GeoControl 2. Load up one of the grids accoding to the map size your going to create, i suggest starting of with a 256 size map (1024x1024), faster to work with and faster to learn before tackling the bigger map sizes.
Now with this theoretic part over lets start up geocontrol.
These are croped and scaled down for the game in bf2hmt. When working with bf2hmt to export to bf2 you need to resize this to your mapsize+1*3 (example 1025*3 = 3075)ġ025 for the main heightmap and other two 1025 for both sides in both axes for the surrounding terrain. These are the sizes you need to work with in landscape generators in general to create entire terrain including your surrounding (mapsize *4): If we want to create the surrounding terrain also the minimum heightfield size is 1024x1024 for the smallest map size. The surrouding terrain in bf2 is great in that way it can be modeled according to the rest of your map with shadows and everything and therfore more realistic (not like in BF42 where is just the heightmap repeated). One of the major disadvantages when using World Machine and really large heightfields (2048x2048+) is the high memory consumption/speed of filters and the relative lack of "painted/exact" control over the landscape. This tuorial doesnt explain in detail how to use geocontrol but rather how to adopt geocontrol for bf2 use, but geocontrol is relatively simple and has good help functions and presets. The GEOCONTROL 2 can be used with any bladder pump system with the use of simple quick-disconnect adapters. (Terrain generated/sculpted with Geocontrol 2 in DICE newest BF game Battlefield: Bad Company) The GEOCONTROL 2 high-pressure solenoid activated valve delivers even in the deepest sampling applications.

It did for me.(don't know why but there it is).ģ:Start geo control and you will asked for username than serial number.FH2 mapping tutorials - Create bf2 heightmaps with Geocontrol EA official tutorials:Ĭreate bf2 heightmaps with Geocontrol and BF2HMTīy Fenring and some contributions by Loboīefore reading this, the basic EA/DICE introduction to heightfields could be a good read.

Realistic things like high ways urban areas or rivers,it can create the great look for coustomers.įollow these steps to download and install:ġ:Install Geo control 2.1 build 54 and check in applications if install went well.Ģ:IF you see Gc icon and you can open it then its fine proceed on step 2.If itsįolder icon with little red circle on the bottom then it is not good.In that caseĬlose all programs,unistall Gc (I used clean my pc mac for that) and do logout on your mac not shutdown,Just logout.login back and start from step 1, hopefully that will solve the problem for you because IT has unique combination of tools and its look like a artistic featured software it's possible to make The revolutionary concept of geocontrol 2 opens entirely new dimensions to create virtual landscapes.
