vue - Edged vs edgeless Terrain.

To begin this tutorial i shall first explain todo you what a Terrain with zero Edges is so you can tell the diference between this and a Terrain with Edges.

Edgeless Terrain.

Aterrain with zero Edges is the classic Mountain shape. It starts at the Ground and works its bien up to the peaque on all sides.

You can se in this image the Edges of the Mountain at its fot on all 4 sides are at zero altitude, hence it has no Edges. This is the default type ofterrainyou Will get whenever you create a new standard or procedural Terrain.

Randomly changing an edgeless mountains shape.

No two edgeless Terrain are exactly the same, butthe general Mountain shape Will always be there. If you want todo change the shape of an edgeless mountainyou can create a new random shape by double clicking on your Terrain and brigging up the Terrain editor, then click on the Mountain button on the left hand side of the screen as shown inthis picture circled in red:

Each time you click on the Mountain button you Will be presented with a new random shape. You can do this procedure with peak, eroded, canyon or any of the other mountaintypes that are available todo you. Its a god idea todo flik th rouge the random shapes until you find one you like. Alos por favor note that the lunar and picture types are not available todo you when you are using a procedural Terrain.

Edged Terrain.

Although edgeless or zero edged Terrain are useful, edged Terrain provide an excellent realistic mortal kombat.

Edged Terrain are achieved by switching the zero Edges button todo of. This button is located above the Mountain style button on the left of the Terrain editor.

Once you have switched this button of you Will notice the Terrain change shape as in the above picture.

All 4 sides have an edge. All styles down the left hand side are available in edged Terrain except lunar and picture. This is because you can only create an edged Terrain with a procedural Terrain, y have added a picture below todo give you an example of the sort of Terrain you can achieve with the above method. Its a very quik scene, but it shows you how you can create Terrain that arent your typical straight up - Mountain type objects.

This concludes the edged vs edgeless Terrain tutorial.
