| − | ==Introduction== | + | === If you play this game you will be punished by law!!! === |
| − | I've read many wurmians use a 3D modeling tool to plan their projects, Because of that i've decided to make a Guide for one of these software, [http://sketchup.google.com/ Google Sketchup]. It's not very hard to understand Sketchup; you'll soon find out you're able to plan a wurm project with it. If you need any help send [[Player:Beastenator|me]] a pm ingame or on the forums (name: Beast)
| + | Wurm is a bad game and run by criminals who avoid tax, if you play this game you will suffer harsh punishments by law. |

| − | ==The Basics==
| |
| − | Sketchup isn't very hard. You can learn the basics in a couple of minutes using [http://sketchup.google.com/training/videos.html official tutorials] and [http://download.sketchup.com/downloads/training/tutorials50/Sketchup%20Video%20Tutorials.html videos]. The only thing I can say is try to make some simple things like blocks first. When you think you're ready for the Wurm mapping, read on.

| − | ==Wurm Mapping==
| |
| − | Before you make something in Sketchup i suggest you use a 2d mapping tool like [http://discon.googlepages.com/mapper.html this one] first
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Make sure the the measures in the [http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/5919/guidesv6.jpg lower right box] are in meters, if not go to [http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/116/preferencesmv1.jpg preferences] and set it to metric meters 3D in template tab.
| |
| − | * Now make a square of 4x4 meters. Just start drawing a square and type 4,4 then hit enter.
| |
| − | * Copy the squares to make a grid
| |
| − | * Download the needed models from Wurm on the Sketchup Warehouse.
| |
| − | * Click on the paint bucket and sample the paint from the needed tile type.
| |
| − | * Paint the tiles in grid.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Slopes====
| |
| − | * Use the move tool to raise land, click on the corner you want to raise, press up key and raise the corner 0,1 meter per dirt high.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Houses and fences====
| |
| − | * Download the needed house, fence and gate models.
| |
| − | ** If you need a pallisade, Draw a some circles next to eachother and pull them to around 5 metres high. You can make cones on them as well if you like
| |
| − | ** If you need a Tall stone wall, Take the low stone model and pull it to 5 Meters high
| |
| − | * Start placing the models in the correct place, always make sure the outside of a house wall lines up with the tile border.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Roofs====
| |
| − | * Place roofs above the houses using the roof models tich made.
| |
| − | * If you want to combine the 1/4th parts with the 1x1 parts, place them next to eachother and fix them.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Cleaning the map up====
| |
| − | * Delete all guides and other unneeded lines
| |
| − | * Take a look at the landscape components in windows -> components.
| |
| − | * Add some trees if you wish, but keep in mind they strongly increase your file size
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Hints and tips==
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Download all wurm models and save them in one file, this can speed up your mapping.
| |
| − | * The best way to improve in Wurm mapping is by doing it often.
| |
| − | * Try making some non-wurm models as well, by doing so you'll understand more complex structures and you'll be able to make more complicated maps.
| |
| − | * If you have trouble raising the land exactly, you can make a [http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/6030/linerps8.jpg vertical liner] for it.
