About this 3D model

This set includes textured hills for all the maps of the Battletech boxed set "A Game of Armored Combat"; Grasslands 2, Grasslands 3, Desert 2 and Desert 3. There are five different styles per map for a lot of choice, which means 19 hills across all maps x 5 styles is 95 hills! For each terrain style, there's also three forest options, including one with magnetic trees that you can move out of place when a mech moves onto the hex! There's also a simple tree shaped icon, and a third option where I remove all tree icons for people that want to do their own thing. For the magnetic option, glue the trees to a base provided (just a couple for light a forest) and use a pair of 5mm diameter 1mm thick barrel magnets. There's two tree bases included with different depth holes because not all 1mm magnets are 1mm. All the hills have been designed to be printed supportless in FDM, and the larger hills have been provided both whole, for people with really big printers, and split into smaller parts. All of the split parts should fit on an Ender 3 size printer, 235 x 235 mm, although some may need to be rotated. Tree icons are located on the maps for forests. The file names have the format: map_name - hill letter - terrain_type - tree_type.stl tree_type is either: magnet_trees - each forest hex has a circular recess with a tree icon inside it that contains a space for a magnet, simple_trees - each forest hex has a tree icon on it, trees_removed - the forest icons have all been removed, and universal - these hills on their respective maps have no forests on them to start with, so they'd be used with any of the above four options. If you'd like any changes, such as the tree icons removed or if you find a hill doesn't fit on your printer, please let me know and I'll sort something out! Please note that this set only includes the hills, albeit 95 hills, and with a few split for printing, in five terrain styles and three hills styles it's a total of 328 stl files! The other buildings and the mech are from other sets of mine here on cults, and the tank has not yet been released. Updates: 2025-04-23 - I was alerted to the fact that I'd missed including the tree files! I've just uploaded them now. 2025/05/26 - I've added a couple of tree areas that are sized as single hexes for classic Battletech. There's a pair of straight edged hexes, and two pairs of hexes that have textured edges. Each pair includes one with a single hole for a single tree, and another with three holes for up to three trees. My intention is for the single holed hexes to be used for light forests, and the three holes to allow two or three tress for heavy forests. These are in the file "single flat hexes.zip".
