i actually planned to stream while building my first map. But somehow i finished it already before the patch was released to public, so now i am done already :P
I might stream some when i do another map, or a winter conversion of the existing one. Can't say when though.

If there are special techniques you like to know more about though, just ask in here and we might get a tutorial done for it.

Thanks for sharing, man! I'm working on a concept for a map atm, unfortunately I don't really know how to use the worldbuilder. Hopefully I can master it with the help of your tutorials.

Reposted here because it made more sense:

"Great video series! One question though: How can I import an image into the world builder to use as a template while I place the map components? I saw this done in Relic's worldbuilder video (at approximately 1:02). There is also a blog post which mentions the technique (http://www.snakebytestudios.com/tag/company-of-heroes/) But I cannot find any actual instructions.

To be clear, I know how to import heightmaps. What I'm referring to here is the ability to import an image as a stamp to use as a guide.

Thanks again for the great video series. Looking forward to future editions!"

I would love an answer to that question!

These tutorials have been so helpful, I feel like I would have been lost without them. So much good information.

I wanted to ask if you knew of or could create a comprehensive tutorial on creating roads? Some spline tutorials touch on them briefly, but I'd love a tutorial that maybe covered building 3 roads: dirt, cobblestone and cement, as well as adding curbs and mud tracks or skid marks to make the roads look natural. I seem to have real troubles finding roads that look good, matching curbs, blending them into the terrain, etc...
