The Landscape Sculpt Mode provides direct control over the shape of the landscape terrain. Using a variety of brush types and configurations, you can raise, lower, smooth, flatten or otherwise modify the landscape’s heightmap data in real time. This mode offers hands-on sculpting for shaping hills, valleys, cliffs, and other terrain features directly in the viewport.
Sculpt mode operates on the currently-active Edit Layer, making every change non-destructive and reversible. Combined with procedural systems such as Blueprint Brushes and Landscape Splines, it provides for hybrid workflows that mix hand-sculpted terrain with procedural features.
Tool Workflow
Once you've created your Landscape, you have access to the other features of the Landscape tool. To use sculpting, select the Sculpt mode tab.
When you select Sculpt mode, the Sculpt tool options become available for choosing the type of sculpting tool along with the brush style and falloff type you want to use to apply their effects to your landscape heightmap using strokes.
With your Sculpting tool selected, you can now use the following controls to start sculpting your landscape:
| Common Controls | Operation |
|---|---|
Left Mouse Button | Performs a stroke that applies an additive application of the selected tool's effects to the heightmap and raises the terrain. |
Left Mouse Button + Shift | Performs a stroke that applies a subtractive application of the selected tool's effects to the heightmap and lowers the terrain. |
Ctrl + Z | Undo last stroke. |
Ctrl + Y | Redo last undone stroke. |
