CHANGE how you think about Modular Water + Coasts

So you want to make some water terrain! But do you need a lake or a river? Is it tropical and clear or swampy and muddy? What if you could have your water and its coasts and banks with one easy tile system?
Easy? Yes. Delicate? Also, yes.

I wanted to pin a couple of updates here thanks to some helpful comments! - Multiple people pointed me toward cut-resistant gloves for just this sort of carving safety. I will likely pick up a pair myself! - More alternatives to glass panes: --- Acrylic sheets at various sizes on Amazon --- Plexiglass cut to size from your local hardware store --- Acetate sheets (like for overhead projectors) --- Large plastic sheet sourced from a poster frame One thing I didn't mention in the video is that I found having a transparent panel with some thickness increased the visual quality of the wave texture against the coloured paper underneath. Having some distance allows for shadows and a better reflection and water effect overall. And don't forget to store these with parchment or wax paper in between!

You can use some wet/dry sandpaper around 220-320 grit down the sides of the glass. Use it wet so you don't end up with glass dust in the air. It'll make it less likely to cut you, remove some of the flaws that tend to act as break points, and make the cleanup with a razor a bit easier.

@5:00 cut resistant gloves are fairly cost effective, and absolutely worth looking in to if you're doing this sort of carving regularly. THEY ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROPER CAUTION, but they're a decent piece of preventative safety on top of being sensible and careful. Making sure your knife is properly sharp means you're using less force to make cuts as well, so stop and strop or hone your blade every dozen or so decent sized cuts, or when your blade starts to slow down when carving.

@WilSisney Жыл бұрын

Also that freaking flocking strategy is brilliant! There's probably a better term for making adjoining tiles connect cleanly in a visual way, but I just call it tessellation. Getting physical tessellation is easy - you just have to make your foam join. Getting visual tessellation is SO hard and the flocking approach you use is blowing my mind right now.

Ahh! Thank you for such high praise!! I'm happy that my instructions came across clearly. If you like, rolled up masking tape also works well in adhering the tiles together too!

This video reminded me of a time I hold deep nostalgia for, playing with the Total Annihilation: Kingdoms map editor as a young lad having my first experiences with map making and modding the games I played, fitting all the neat tiles together and assembling tiny worlds just for myself to experience. The water and islet tiles were some of my favourites and one of the maps I spent the most time decorating was a castle flanked on three sides with a large horseshoe-shaped lake, with a small hamlet huddled among expansive fields of pumpkins and wheat, I must've spent a couple of hours just doing set dressing on a tiny sheltered lagoon among the fields surrounded by a dense cloak of pine trees with a little clearing where a couple of vagrants were camped. It probably wasn't a very good map to actually play but it didn't need to be, I probably spent more time in the map editor than I did playing the game.

Hi! Also an RP Archive fanboy here! I've been thinking down a similar vein, but using acetate sheets/OHP transparencies rather than glass as they are cheaper and less breakable.
