Tips & Tricks #6 : Wilderness scatter terrain
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- 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:

Excellent tutorials, I'm just finding these nearly 3 years after you posted them but I'm so glad I did.
Some of the earlier vid's aren't great ...but I think some of the later ones are getting a bit better :)
@@CrookedStaffTerrain I love your approach to designing models and terrain, I'm currently making my way through some of your older tutorials now.
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 :)
Cheers!
Great video. Love your series. Keep it up.
Cheers!
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.
Fingers crossed then :) (look forward to seeing them).
This is genius! Just shows you don't need to spend loads for a great effect. Can have absolutely loads of these for the same price as one bought tree!
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 :)
It get better if you wrinkle hard the log texture before glue it to the roll, it get a very realistic texture.
Nice idea.
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.
Some interesting crafting methods. Love the videos and textures, keep em coming.
Cheers. I've already got the next one planned (and the textures mostly drawn).
These are all really awesome. And I love listening to your voice, you have a very light-hearted jovial voice that makes it enjoyable to listen to.
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).
Some very interesting terrain pieces.
I love the versatility of your stuff it make thing so easy
You're a genius! Keep up the great work.
I don't know about that ...I probably just have too much time on my hands :)
I like the style you created with the various terrain pieces. Good show man!
Thanks :) Glad you like 'em!
brilliant! it's amazing how versatile these textures can be, thank you!
Thanks, and yeah ...folks have sent me pics of some of their own builds - and it's often something I would never have thought of.
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 :)
Creative and awesome job, special mention to the mushrooms!
Cheers. Yeah, I think the mushrooms add a nice splash of colour :)
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!
I love to get pics of other people's builds. So if you get chance, please do :)
I just added a post to the Tabletop Crafter's Guild Facebook page. See D Christopher Cox.
I'll check it out now!
Well done and your scatter terrain is attractive and effective.
Thanks :) :) :)
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 :)
You are amazing!! Love your videos! Thank you for sharing your crafts!
Glad you like the vid's. Hope you've been able to put some of this stuff to use!
Excellent video! Absolutely loved it!
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. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the kind words. Glad you're enjoying the vid's :)
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.
That would probably work quite nicely :)
Another great job! "fiddly bits", Love It!!
These are brilliant
Thanks. Glad you like 'em :) :) :)
This is exactly what I’ve been wanting, thanks you!!!
No problem ...glad to help.
This turned out so great I'm honestly in love with this aesthetic
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.
Thanks. I'm sure there's other techniques too ...but these are the ones I've been using recently :)
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!
Yeah ...I'm mainly doing it this way so that I get the same 'look' for all of my terrain :)
@@CrookedStaffTerrain Looks good! I'm watching your other videos. Do you have a playlist for the "episodes"?
@@monsterhobbiesageofsigmar There should be one for all of the 'print & paste' stuff.
@@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 :) ).
Love 'em. Been watching a few of your videos and they are amazing!
Glad you're enjoying them :)
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!
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.
Thanks.
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!
Thanks for the kind words. It's always good to hear that folks are actually using this stuff :)
Man, excelent tutorial and ideas!
very inspiring, thank you!
this is very cool
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! ^_^
Will do!
Looks awesome!!
This stuff is amazing!
Thanks :)
An idea: Make the bushes quicker and easier by using the leaf texture like one of your stalagmites or shaped around a rounder piece of paper.
The next time I need a few in a hurry, I might give that a try :)
love those videos!
Fantastic thank you
No probs.
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: ua-cam.com/video/EKkekM72y8A/v-deo.html
Hope that helps :)
Very interesting. I particularly like the Rock and mushrooms. You mention pdfs for trees rocks etc. Where can these be found please?
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 :) )
this is need
Luar biasa
Loving your work! Sadly, this particular pdf is missing from the drivethru website :(
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.
@@CrookedStaffTerrain Oh, I see. I totally missed that, sorry. Thanks you so much, I really appreciate you!
What tree PDF? You keep talking about this stuff like everyone has access to it. If you don’t tell us where to get it, how can we know?
UA-cam 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 (UA-cam 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).
Huh...
