Floating Island

[scubazoo]

How do I make a floating island? With grass and terrain and everything. Someone has managed to do just that in this yourutbe video:

I know how to elevate things like doodads and such, but how would I do it with terrain?

Thanks

i think the terrain is already applied on the model, and no units would be able to walk on it, unless you base it off a bridge and no units would be able to walk under it.
also, watched the video and that dosnt look like a floating island

That's not a floating island lol

You see how the plot of land is in the air, and is surrounded by water falls? It is floating. I don't mean to say it is an island in the sense that it has sand and palm trees.

Edit: Unfortunately, I think it is a custom model.

It looks a lot like a custom model, as do most of the objects in the video. Alternatively it could be multiple doodads with their heights increased to the point where they all look to be a perfect floating island.

if im not wrong its just water color changed to white and arranged waterfalls arond the island.

It looks like a bunch of rock doodads that were raised in the editor. Then trees/waterfalls/etc were placed on top of that.

Either that or the extra things were also raised, so that they look to be on the same level.

That's what I meant. It'd be horrible to do any other way.
