In this video I'll be showing you how to make a few bits of scatter terrain (bushes, rocks, etc.) from some of the existing textures. * * * * * Note that all of the textures that I've created so far can be found here: www.drivethrur...
Crooked Staff Terrain hopefully this weekend (if my daughter allows me to get some work done) I will make a few things and post them in the MeWe group.
Fantastic results. Your techniques are as simple as it gets but the results punch way above their 'weight'. I'm not usually a fan of cardstock terrain but your aesthetic works perfectly. Delightful :)
Thanks. Not sure about the voice though :) ...it sounds horrible to me :D (but I suppose that's what everyone says when they listen to their own voice).
A store bought tree might look better - but if you have the time and patience, you can make a whole table's worth of this stuff for very little cash :)
This is great! People usually use real world materials for this type of scenery. I've never seen anyone use paper for trees, especially to wrap a rock! Cool!
@@CrookedStaffTerrain Yes, I just discovered it. It wasn't titled what i thought it would be though. I am going to use your techniques from the mini-houses on my next paper/foam house.
@@monsterhobbiesageofsigmar Nice - hope it goes well (if you check the community page here, you can see some prototypes of the stuff that will go along with them :) ).
I love the way you used the hole punch to make the leaves . . . BRILLIANT! I used your textures to do my doors a different way. I'll try and get you a picture. Worked out FANTASTIC!
Great video on adding some variety to your gaming board. I had some inspiration for variations on what you just did. Trees. If you want pine trees then just make bigger versions of the bushes with large circles at the bottom getting smaller on the way up. And if you make sure you have a hole in the middle of each disc to allow a wooden barbeque skewer to be glued in to strengthen it which would help with longevity of them. Weeds/Flowers. Print the colour of your choice double sided and use the hole punch for flower petals while following the way you do it for the leaves or dome it like the mushroom but glue with the cup facing upwards. This would add a nice splash of colour to your terrain as well. Rocks. Use your sack example from the dungeon video (episode 3 : Barrels & Sacks) with the crushed paper (of varying sizes) and cover with the rock texture. This is in case you don't have any polystyrene/foam to hand. Mushroom. Using an offcut of the edge of your printouts (the white edges that dont get printed on) you could wrap these around your tooth pick and then cut to length. (this might be like the people who complain about being able to see the corrugation of the cardboard though, lol).
Nice ideas. I think that's one of the great things about supplying 'textures' rather than 'specific papercraft models' ...i.e. people can find all sorts of alternative uses for them, or just expand on some of the existing ideas. Anyway, if you do make any of the above, I'd love to see how they turn out :)
That log would be the perfect place to put a potion a bag of gold scroll or enchanted weapon. Perception roll..... Ah you notice something in the hollow log. You are the perfect crafter for people who don't like or want to paint absolutely brilliant. The only thing is I'd think about is covering those cardboard edges.
Thanks for the kind words. And yeah I hope that my stuff helps to get things on the table (reasonably) quickly & easily - for those that don't want to spend time, money, and effort on painting (though I also like the fact that everything has a consistent look - if you know what I mean ...i.e. several folks from the same gaming group could all make a few things - and everything should match). Also ...I'm very much a speed builder (and a bit lazy, as I just want to get stuff to the table a quickly as possible) ...which is why I tend to not bother covering the edges (as it still looks OK at arms length). However, folks can always spend a bit more time on their own stuff ...as I say - I'm just a bit lazy :)
Perfectly simple and extremely useful. I find your videos excelents for som cheap and flexible terrain building. Thanks for all the good work and you got here a loyal follower from now on. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I discover this trick like 20 years ago, playing with a piece of paper rolling it between my fingers and when I unroll it I get amazed in how tree bark like it was.
The shifting camera angles are good - always getting different views of the process and not allowing boredom to sink in (as if you really needed any help there, anyway - LOL). As always, an entertaining and informative - need I say inspiring? - short video. Thank you!
Another amazing video, so many different good techniques in this one, I love it! The ending really showed how much you can do with these techniques, really cool.
Lovely stuff. I imagine it'd really add a lot of depth to the bushes if you crinkled them up before gluing the leaves in place; since you won't be standing any minis on them (probably), they don't need the stability of a flat surface, and at their size some crinkled form could help fill them out and feel more like a rounded bush than flat layers stacked on top of each other.
Your work again is absolutely amazing and adds so much to my games! Thanks to you and the inspiration you have given me I've made all the tiles from your whole series and a few extra from my own creation. I've made: A raised wooden platform using 4 legs, taking the tavern texture. A jail cell using dowel rods and the dungeon texture Just to name a few, keep up the good work you have inspired me!
I've been looking for some alternative techniques to get some of my family into terrain building with me, and this is fantastic! Way better than I expected and a great way to get newcomers engaged with something easy that looks great. Well done.
Reeeeeaaaally nice! And also the other examples that you give at the end of the video helps on giving new ideas. Covering the edges of the cardboard with a slim strip of textured paper might help also. Keep up the awesome work! ^_^
Is there anywhere to buy the textures used in the actual big terrain pieces from this video? Be awesome to see a tutorial on how they were made as well. I’m new to paper craft and what you are producing is really great!
The rocky-hills? If so, the sides are made from the gridless cave floor pattern here: www.drivethrurpg.com/product/245465/Print--Paste-Dungeon-textures-Cave-Tiles And the grassy textures is from the 'trees' download: www.drivethrurpg.com/product/253758/Print--Paste-Wilderness-Textures-Trees And they were made in exactly the same was as the elevated pieces that I made for the cave tiles: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EKkekM72y8A.html Hope that helps :)
Everything that I've done so far can be found here: www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/3785/Crooked-Staff-Publishing/subcategory/6576_29751/Print--Paste Hope that helps :)
But the trees can be found here: www.drivethrurpg.com/product/253758/Print--Paste-Wilderness-Textures-Trees And the stone texture (from the cave tiles) is here: www.drivethrurpg.com/product/245465/Print--Paste-Dungeon-textures-Cave-Tiles (and thanks for reminding me - I really need to go back and add the first link to all my old videos :) )
The tips & tricks videos don't usually have their own pdfs - as these bonus videos tend to just use existing textures, and repurpose them. In this case, I mainly reused the 'trees' pdf: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/253758/print-paste-wilderness-textures-trees ...and also some stuff from the 'cavern fetaures' pdf: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/248135/print-paste-dungeon-textures-cavern-features Hope that helps.
RU-vid seems to have changed something with the way 'cards' work. Basically, when I say '...the trees in the last episode' at 0:16 a 'card' should pop up in the corner to direct you to the relevant video. For some reason, that's not happening at the moment (RU-vid has a habit of adding/removing/changing stuff for no apparent reason 🤷♂ ). Even so, if you check the description there is a link to a page on DriveThruRPG where all of the pdf's are listed. For example, the trees pdf can be found here: www.drivethrurpg.com/product/253758/Print--Paste-Wilderness-Textures-Trees?affiliate_id=8343
my biggest problem right now is finding good grass textures because my papercraft stuff is so varied I want to keep a certain style. stylized? realistic? i dont knowwwwwww
I know what you mean. I try to stick to a similar aesthetic for most of my stuff - so as to maintain a consistent look. Hopefully the grass floor textures in the 'Trees' pdf will work for you (there's also a more 'bushy' floor in the newer 'Marshes' pdf if that's of interest).
