Is there any way to speed up the terrain sculpt feature?

It takes forvever to make huge mountains....


Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm at work right now so I can't check, but I know there is a setting in the setup file to increase max size of the brush. Perhaps there is a setting for speed as well?

The only option for speed as far as I know is ctrl to slow down. I can't say I ever had an issue with it being too slow. In editor mode anyway, the speed used to be a lot slower in F9 mode. You could speed up your workflow by raising just one part to roughly the height you want then use flatten to make big areas at a certain height, then start sculpting.

I always found that for me the raising speed was on a kind of a curve, the higher you made the mountain the quicker it would grow, making higher mountains gets super fast and uncontrollable for me.

Okay. So I tried it again and it worked.

I now have a map with this super fast terrain editing mode.

If anyone wants to test it or use it for other purposes, go ahead !

Download it and use it for massive mountains and such.

Hello Duchenkuke, I think this was a great question. I have been trying to make some mountains for my cowboy game also, and this helped me also.

I checked your mountain map and tried some of these tricks and wow, it sure did speed things up!

Thanks one and all... and best wishes to all...
