Terrain Painting Tool

The terrain in Depence offers up to 8 layers to paint any material on. Each layer can be drawn individually. Activate the tool on the left toolbar.

Layer

The first layer is a procedural grass layer by default, containing several grass textures, which will be blended automatically depending on the distance to the camera. To add a new layer simply Drag & Drop a material from the library into the tool next to the grass layer.

The selected layer is always active for painting with your mouse, using the left mouse button.

This toolbar defines the current mode of your brush. It can paint, erase or use a brush pattern.

Tool Radius	Changes the radius of the tool itself.
Strength	Defines the intensity and power of each draw cycle.
Hardness	Defines the hardness/softness of the edges of the brush.

Select the layer to edit and simply draw with your left mouse button
