Round Tunnel with a curve?

[opti2000]

Hello i got a little problem.

I want make a curve with this round tunnel but i really dont know how. Its a real pain in the ass everything i tried failed hardly. Does anyone know how to make a curve into a rounded tunnel?

The slats are the main problem here, but for just the wall use a torus. Also it looks like you didn't use an arch for the tunnel.

The tunnel is "handmade".

Well creating a straight line was easy but i also need curves :S

[Armageddon]

Yeah don't make tunnels by hand, use the arch primitive. And then the torus to do the curve.

By the way how can i make a [color=#BF0000]round curve with the torus?

Is there any good tutorial?

EDIT: okay problem solved thanks

Its much better to do this with subdivided displacements as shown here. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wik ... placements

Doing it with brushes results in a massive amount of brushes with off-grid vertices.

I used a torus with considerably less brush sides than you might expect. I've done precisely what opti's done for Stroll. It's fairly heavy on the engine but I made a few changes to the level to accommodate it.

I tried it with displacement but nothing noticeable happens.

This is the tunnel i want make round for example.




Now i selected all the faces inside the tunnel and created a displacement and clicked on subdivide but this happens only.

After


Well it get curved just a little bit but not like in the valve wiki :S

Oh you just want a slant?

[Dives]

All the displacement faces need to share edges (it looks like they do on your picture) and they all have to be selected when you hit subdivide.

[opti2000]

Yes like that.

Its going to be a metro tunnel but i just want the tunnel round and also with slant ways. (because a metro tunnel is not always a straight lined way)

The train must be able to fit in the tunnel and drive there then. Thats my intention.

You will not make a slant work without wanting to tear your own arse out through your face. It is literally one of the most pain in the neck things to do with a torus style workflow.

Personally, again, I just used a torus but cut the angles to make a connecting segment, then manually aligned every motherfucking brush on the right vertexes to meet them up. You will need 110% excellent arch/torus practice to make this doable without fucking everything up. Then add in your angled tunnel segment, then copy-paste and pray that the other side comes out in reasonable alignment with the rest of the brushes. Which it inevitably won't, and you cry yourself to sleep.

Do yourself a favour and displace it. Do not do it my way. And learn how to displace in the meantime.

Haha i feel your pain i tried it the whole day with your method

But well i finally did it with a displacement and created a nice round slant tunnel way. Thanks all for the tips.

The problem was one side was not properly connected :S
