Vines????

[TurtlesRock]

Does anybody have or know how to make vines? They would be good for the map that I'm working on. I also want to make them climbable. I understand how to make a ladder but I don't know how to make it look like a convincing bunch of vines. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Vines? There's probably no way you could make it by combining brushes together. You'd definitely need a good custom model for that. Maybe that could be the next thing on your "To Learn List". It's pretty dam useful to know how to make 3d models.

You can make a texture with vines to pass.

If I made it with a texture would it look convincing enough to pass as vines?

To make proper vines, either use a custom texture or skillful brushwork.  For practical game vines, take a look at games that use them frequently and effectively through many hardware changes: Legend of Zelda: From Ocarina of Time to Twilight Princess.  A great DP map to look at would be ub_columbia, which feature vines extremely well.

Look at how the vines appear, and then create them based on the skills you possess.

Are you thinking a large vine, which covers a large area or just a simple string with few leaves?

[TurtlesRock]

I' thinking more of a large one to design the rocky walls, but a fairly simple one would probably be great for just using to climb on. If I get help with a  large one I think I could figure out how to make a simple one.

If your doing a large one it would probably be easiest to get a custom texture

If it could be done like the chainlink texture, that you can see through from some spots, it would be cool.
