Let's try some scenery

Ok before we start : before doing any scenery you need a track , you can do it the other way around but that's pretty hard.
I used this small track:

[SIZE="3"]Let's get started[/SIZE]

1)Cave Scenery

1.1)Simple cave
This is pretty easy to do , good to start of with . First off you draw the lines for the ceiling/walls of the cave , than you simply draw some random lines in the walls to act like small cracks :you can see me doing it here.

1.2)Cracky cave
To do this you need to draw the ceiling/walls of the cave , but you need to "shake "your mouse a bit so it looks a bit rocky and real . After that you need to draw the cracks , you can pick the size you like but not to big , the cracks need to be against the ceiling/wall lines but a few can be in the middle of the wall : you can see me doing it here.

1.3)Rocky cave
To do this you need to draw rock-like lines as cieling/walls ,this can take a while.After that is done you need to start working on your shadings , the best way to do this is just putting multiple lines on another .If you don't know how/where to put it you can do it like i do :imagine there is a small sun on your screen and where would the shadings go to , you have to think that the light is coming from one side so it looks more real.This is pretty easy to do but it looks really good .You can see me doing it here.

2)High-tech Scenery

2.1)Platform Tech
this is not to hard but it looks pretty good , first off you draw those step-like lines under your curve and under that a small block where you put the leg on .After that you outline it and multiple outline the lines on the left (start of curve) to give it shadings . You can see me doing it here.

2.2) random high-tech scenery
If you want to make a good high-tech scenery you must know how to make some sandom high-tech thing like : antenna's ,robotic arms,...

4)Basic Shadings
This spices up your scenery a bit.

shadings on Horizontal Lines
Make small groups off random sized lines next to each other.

Shadings on Vertical Lines

Make random sized lines with random space in between , they may touch each other to make the shadings look tick and more real.

Under the Line Shadings
If you have a curve , draw the curve with scenery lines again under the original curve and draw small vertical lines that are the same length.If you have a normal horizontal line , draw a horizontal line under the original line and again draw small vertical lines that are the same length.

you can see me do basic shadings here

[SIZE="3"]TIP[/SIZE] : Don't combine all these shadings in one track , it will look really weird, like this:

5)Basic 3D shapes
There are 2 really basic shapes for this
Cubes
When you have a quadrangle you just need to draw the top and 1 side , you can pick one.

Pyramids
When you have a triangle you just need to draw 1 side of it , can you pick one.

You can see me draw basic 3D shapes here.
