Hey, I decided to try and see if I can make some tutorials from now on, so I came out with my first simple video about texture sets and cliffs. Any comments or feedback is appreciated and welcome!

Pretty good tutorial, I like the map at the end. When you add the cliffs you can just click on the little button on the texture screen:

Unlike textures where you're limited to 8 textures per map you're only allowed to have 4 different cliff textures.

Hmm. i'll keep that in mind, thanks!

I want to start making topic-tutorials. I was thinking of doing one on water next, how to implement water effects, height, and how to make ponds and realistic beaches and whatnot.

Nice video, altho I knew that of course I think it's very well done and will help all the newbies

@G_Wen stop teasing with images of that map all the time, it looks so incredibly cool :D

Should I make more SC2 Editor Tutorial Videos? If so, please provide topics that I should go over. I'm going to try and be brief and simple in each one.

I did think of something that i actually do not know how to do, Changing the model, range, and center of the vision from a xel'naga watch tower.

ie. On the map Dual Sight they have the red and blue gateways that give vision, and on one of your maps (Ohana) i noticed in a balance change where you changed the watchtowers range to exclude a high ground area (possibly you just moved it or changed the land, but im pretty sure range would be possible as well)

And finaly, i havent actually seen this on a map yet, but is it possible to change the origin of the vision that a tower gives? ie. say you took a watchtower in the center of the map that gave vision over say, an island expansion.

might be a long video, not sure :D
