Modifying Terrain

Now, our map is a bit empty at the moment. Let's add a building or two to liven it up. But first, let's make a working space. Some flat terrain. In the terrain tab on the RollupBar, click on modify. Set type to flatten, the outside radius to 20-something and height to say, 20. Now move your mouse to the perspective view and 'paint' the terrain. Once you've done that, how about adding some mountains? On the RollupBar again, set the type to Rise/Lower. Set the outside radius to something quite large, and the height to 20 again. Now paint on those mountains! Make sure they extend back somewhat: we will need that to make caves.



Now that we have a flat space and some mountains, we can start placing some objects around.
