Hello!
I am in the initial stages of working on an open-world game. I was directed towards this program in order to create the terrain and export the heightmap. I have just booted the program up for the first time, but I am wondering, how do I paint or sculpt terrain from a blank base? I am just looking at the free version right now, and since the free version is ver. 1.2.1, my menus are different from up to date tutorials. I see that in 1.3 when you click "new" you get choices of a base, including a blank template. When I click new I just get a default mountain formation.
From videos and tutorials I've seen on Youtube, it all seems to be just random generation of terrain you can modify. That's cool and all, but my map is centered around a large bay, with flatter terrain around the coast, hills further inland, and the terrain becoming more rugged the further north you go.
How can I go about doing this? Can I even do it with the free version?
