Can I Haz Tips? :3 (Outdoor maps) - Fanskapi - 12-28-2011
Hey, i've been working on a map for a while now and i decided i wanted an outdoor map, any tips from someone experienced with outdoor maps on this map editor?
Like, where to download/how to make skyboxes?
How do i make outdoor areas "bumpy" or "hilly" without adding over 9000 different planes?
And any other tips you might want to share.

lots of lighting will make it look good. If it's a sunset use yellows, oranges and blue for shadows.
use the grass in static objects, but remember to turn collisions off. don't leave anywhere totally pitch black unless it's nighttime, and use billboards where appropriate
edit: guy above beat me to it, but the second link I gave should still be useful

Yes the second link above me is very useful if you want to make your own skybox
