DBM/DBA Terrain

Hills

Hills are probably the most widely used terrain feature in games. DBM defines hills under two categories;

• H(G) Gentle Hills are easily defined as having gentle bare slopes (no ridges, rocks or rough bits.)
• H(S) Steep Hills - best described as anything but "gentle or bare slopes." Steep Hills do not have to steep slopes as the name implies. They can be entirely gentle slopes covered in rough going (rocks, brush?) or woods, or alternatively steep slopes covered by rough going or woods. Virtually any combination of steep or gentle slopes, covered with rough or difficult going (ie, woods, rocks, brush....etc) will constitute a Steep Hill. As long as it is not gentle and bare, its considered H(S) Steep Hill.
  Easy ............ right?

Another hill hand made using foam. Flock, sand and gravel has been glued to the surface.	A neatly contour hill as sold by Games Workshop (GW) for their WH games.
Handmade hill using foam again. This one differs by having the slopes cut out using a hot wire cutter. Gives some very impressive steep slopes and erosion effects. Scrub material glued to the hill.	Another example of  foam hill, formed by using a hot wire cutter. Flocked, with scrubs glued to the surface.
A gentle hill topped with rough going. Carved from high density foam, flocked with "flock" and gypsum sand, highlighted with patches of scrub (coarse flock ... all obtained fro your local railway modelling shop.
