Paint Layers

 

What is the Layer Painter?

 

The layer painter is used to apply terrain materials to the level terrain, allowing interesting and realistic terrain. 

It can be accessed under RollUpBar > Terrain > Layer Painter.

Brush Settings

 

Radius

The Radius slider changes the size of the brush. 

Hardness

The Hardness slider changes the strength of the brush in applying the material. A lower value will give a softer translucent effect, whereas 1 means the material painting is completely opaque. 

Paint by LayerID

When set, the painter will only paint the detail texture of the terrain material. 

Mask by Layer Altitude and Slope

Sets the material to only paint between the Altitude and Slope(deg.) parameters defined below 

Mask by "Material Layer"

Select the material layer from the drop down list to protect it from being painted over. 

Filter

The Filter option gives the ability to modify the brightness of the material base color. 

Click the color box to open up the color selector and alter the base color of your material.
