Hi and Welcome!
Ad:
Do you see the new games, even the worst and see
terrain, almost all games have terrain now. How do
i do terrain? How Easier can it be with Sketchup?
As simple as clicking a button! Usually if people
were to make terrain, they'd use Milkshape. No? All
those Hours getting every little edge, finally paid off.
No? Well your wrong because Sketchup Sanbox Tools take only
1 minute to create Terrain.
Side Note:
I Feel more of a Moocher than a helper so...yeah.
I didn't make this but i saw it myself...The vids,sketchup, and sandbox tools that is
To upload it to FPSC go to

Intro:
Before we start we have to download two things
After we've downloaded them go to sketchup (make sure the version is 5 & ^) and go to
Windows -> Prefences -> (on the left side) Extensions -> (on the right side) Sandbox Tools
If you don't know how to use this program they have a built in tutorial
Vid Tutorial:
From the sketchup show.
Just goto the sketchup show #17 Part 1.

If you don't know how to use sketchup the program itself has a tutorial thing
If you want more Terrain in a smaller area, before you explode it,move it to an endpoint of a line that goes 2.540m.
Scale the other side to a line that goes 2.540m to the left\right\foward\backward from the first line's other endpoint.
Altough it'll take a toll on your computer depending on how much squares in s single segment (just to verify: 2.540m = 1 Segmet)
Hope you guys make some great games
If im missin something just tell me
P.S.
I Just LOVE these code snippet things :D >:D
That and also, The terrainshould be bigger than any other entity, making it harder to remove stuff, so this is what you do... First with Segments plan out the path/map then ad in entities, stories, trigger, etc. after your done with that you can now add in the terrain. since it is an entity it will intersect with the segments giving it this awesome snow effets. before you click the mouse to put in the terrain, press (-) then mouseclick. After you do that click every individual entity and press (-) then (Return) or (Enter) to level it on the terrain.
Also if the entity is lower than the initial hieght, makes sure it is about 2 segments wide ore else you will get stuck (SAD FACE!)
