Landscaping with Terrains ....
This task has got to be one of the most difficult when building lots. Many times I find it takes me longer to do the landscaping than actually building the house. I usually do not use a 'planned' landscape ... it just happens. I start with the large spray tool with one terrain ... then start scaling down the spray tool size using other terrains until I come up with a somewhat 3D effect. I also tend to use the raised-bump tool to accent that 3D effect.
Truly it just is luck most of the time in being successful and having an interesting landscape. And choosing the plants to add is not easy either .... there are so many wonderful plants available it is hard to decide what to pick. I use 2 other creators terrains in my lots as well ... margierytka (WOW, great terrains), and Betontod who are both over at MTS2.
Good luck to all of you who are going to use some of these terrains ... just remember to tweak, tweak, and tweak as you go. It'll all happen as it should!
