I just can't seem to get this one. I've read all the articles/tutorials on renhelp.co.uk but i still CAN"T get it.

I separted the terrian into:
-Cliffs (highest polygons)
-Ground (grass)
-Dirt (trails)

Now what do I do!!!! Please help this is driving me crazy people.

You can't separate the terrain and blend across 2 terrains (if thats a word).

You will need to section off portions of your terrain that will include the dirt path for example.

On that section you can set the texture to a grassy texture, and paint on the dirt with vertex paint.

But to do the cliffs, that will need to be another section that will have grass and a rock texture.

Its kind of hard to explain. Sad

Just remember that you can only have 2 textures per section. One normal covering and one for alpha blending.

That kinda helps. For the dirt path I will use vertex paint, never thought of useing that.

But literally how would i go about blending the grass to the cliffs?

Here is an old tutorial i made for blending. Mainly uses just alot of pictures to show how its done and explains everything you need to know on each picture. Sorry if its to large to any moderators, if possible can they be added into links instead, as its 9am and i haven't slept yet.

SuperMidget, look at the last picture. Notice how the area wwith the dirt had to be detatched from the rest of the map. Thats what I was trying to explain.
