Greetings,This is a scene I'm working right now. I'm sharing it, because it illustrates the results you can get with a Roadmaker script I wrote. In this scene, I used Roadmaker to modify the elevation map for the road and the house's lot. Roadmaker also created four material distribution maps used in this scene.
It was some time ago when I started doing some research on creating roads in Vue 4. In the process, I created a Paint Shop Pro 8 script that greatly helps in creating roads, paths, among other things in Vue 4 and 5.
I call the script 'Roadmaker'. It's fairly easy to use and learn, but at the same time, very dynamic and customizable.
One run of the script creates three material distribution maps: Road, Roadside, and Road Tracks, and a revised elevation map corresponding with the material maps.
I am making the script freely available on my website. Plus, I also wrote a tutorial on how to use the Roadmaker script.

My Roadmaker Kit comes with the Roadmaker script, a Roadmaker Prep Map script, and two Vue 5 Infinite materials that are great starting points for Roadmaker.

I hope you enjoy the script and making roads as much as I do. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them here or to send me an instant message.
