Hi there,

this is my first tutorial ever ;) and i hope it will help ppl to find some new challenges.
I call it double process and as the name sounds it is pretty easy.
Sometimes we want to use a mix of water and other blocks, but the water block dissappear
so we can easily fix that by adding the water block again. So we will have same water block on same x,y,z positions twice.

As you can see this technique is very easy and can be used also on dirt and grass based block.

Have fun

cheers Stromek

Thanks a lot Stromek, what a nice tutorial! We never covered this technique on the blog so it's great to have it here :) Maybe you could add a description on how to blockmix outside the stadium (with mention of which blocks you can use) and/or an explanation on how to raise the surface texture of StadiumFabricFloor (the blue surface) and StadiumInflatable. I think I remember Tec trying something like that but he had difficulties. Also, did you ever work with TrackStudio? Maybe something informative can be made out of that...
We could publish this as a post on the blog if you extend it a bit ;)
