Looking for dirt/soil/berm berm object

Hi all

I'm on the lookout for some dirt/soil/grassy berms (or whatever they're called :? ) ala the ones seen here: http://binged.it/12Ww7Pi , and I was wondering if anyone had an idea where one might find one?

I've had a look through the various MAIW libraries, but the only ones I've been able to find seem to resemble a D-shape, rather than the C-shape I'm looking for (if that makes any sense).

If not, that couldn't be simpler to build.

So I had a poke around gmax (too much of a cheapskate to buy FSDS or whatever else is out there), ran through some tutorials, got lost a fair few number of times, but finally managed to produce this...

I think I may have made a miscalculation somewhere along the lines :lol: (that, or it's the usual problem with . and , as a decimal mark)

After a bit more work, I'm inching ever closer to something useful. Still, baby steps and all :)

Edit: A few more hours and much improved. This is starting to become interesting, though I'm aching to see if there's some tools that I could really use in gmax, but just haven't found yet :D

I'd say that's done

The only problem this gives me, is that now I have to spend the weekend learning more about gmax, texturing, LODs and all that, because I have a lot of small projects that have fallen by the wayside due to the lack of 3D objects :lol:

Don't forget you can change the scale of any object in ADE when you place it.
