Sculpting the Terrain

The Sculpting toolset is a fast way to customize newly created terrain.

By playing around with the different sculpting tools and brush types, you’ll quickly determine how strong a sculpt brush needs to be, the falloff size of a sculpt brush, and which sculpting tools produce which effects on the terrain.

When you open the Sculpt tools in Landscape Mode, the Sculpt option is pre-selected. This tool raises or lowers the selected area of terrain, and is the main tool you’ll use to create mountains and hills.

Use the following settings for the Sculpt tool.

1. Select the Simple circular brush and Spherical falloff under Landscape Editor.

   

2. Set the Tool Strength to 0.5. This determines how strong the pull of the tool is on the terrain.

3. Set the Brush Size to 1000. The brush circle becomes larger.

4. Set the Brush Falloff to 0.7. This creates a short amount of falloff from the brush.
