Overview of Terrain Layers:

This section is an overview of the three layers mentioned earlier:

• Texture Stamp
• Detail texture
• Decals

Using Sand Storm from the Community Map Pack II as an example, here are some images showing what the three layers do and how they interact.

Here is a normal shot of the map with all layers showing:

Here, in the first shot, is the texture stamp layer of the map on its own. To show the effect it has on the decals and detail textures, the second shot shows the complete map with a pure pink texture stamp layer:

Here are two comparison images of the detail textures over a pure black texture stamp layer and a pure white one:

Still using the black and white texture stamps, here are closer comparisons of each detail texture used in the map, the first one also interacting with the water sheet:

In order to show the decals clearly, here are two images of the map with no detail textures and a white texture stamp:

This leads us into the next part of this section: Texture Stamping
