I have decided to submit for the week 6 assignment a X-wing, Tie Fighter and the Hoth landscape (I appreciate this wont be as detailed, but I felt it shows off different techniques to the other models)
Luckily there are plenty of interesting tutorials showing off many of the varied ways of creating landscapes.
Inspired by this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzRYxSScQGk&feature=related I decided to take a snap shot of the arctic as my material. The method in the tutorial left the terrain quite flat and lifeless. Since Hoth is a much harsher environment I felt the ranges should be more mountainous.
I printscreened the location and transferred this to GIMP. I intend to make this layer transparent and create a height map to my specification, Import this to a plane in 3DS Max, then add the screen shot as its texture.
