Question by RGI · Jul 03, 2013 at 10:16 AM · terraindesignterraintextureterrain-editorrealistic

Terrain design tutorial.

Hi, Iam looking for some tutorials on terrain design. I know how to work with the tool but I need to make it look realistic. Does anyone know any? When I try to search for some, all I get is tutorial for the terrain tool. Not the desing. Or does anyone here know some tips that you are willing to share?

I have found t$$anonymous$$s 'tutorial' that contains 'tips & tricks'. If it's not what you are asking for or you can't follow the tutorial I'll try and find you some more.

If you want realistic terrain you're better off using a 3d modelling tool than the build-in editor , because the build in editor uses heightmaps and if you handmodel the terrain you can use vertical cliffs with correct uv-mapping, but if you want it to keep it simple and you want to use the TE than you can :

--> For mountains , use the stairs-method sculpt plateau's of a specified height and on top of that another height and so on and then use the smooth tool and another stamp to imprint small carvings or rocks

--> For smooth $$anonymous$$lls you can use the sculpt tool to random paint random heights and so on

Hope t$$anonymous$$s helps a bit
