Today we’re gonna start good old Cheetah3D<\/a>, mostly because I’m still much more comfortable with the way it works still. We create a Box that we shape like this.<\/p>\n Now, using a Cylinder and a Box and some Boolean operations, we get this result, a half arch.<\/p>\n Clone, rotate and Boolean join, we got something that we can use.<\/p>\n Now, we create another Box, then use the edge selector and shape it like this.<\/p>\n We add a Relief, which is Cheetah3Ds landscape polygon prop.<\/p>\n So, now into FilterForge<\/a>, and the forest path filter I created here over a year ago as a tutorial. This fits perfectly for the task at hand.<\/p>\n Here we have a nice path texture, dirt on grass. Now we apply this a material on the Relief, and size that to fit the entrance. Also, we bend the edge to get a better smooth transition to the other background when used later on.<\/p>\n We wrap up a really quick filter to create a height map for the Relief, as Cheeath3D, much like Bryce, or Carrara 8 has the ability to let the Relief pick its polygon height from a map.<\/p>\n We apply things, and then UV map so we get the track in the centre of the Relief.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/4eyes.code66.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/cgate0201.jpg\" "\\"cgate0201\\"")
