WorldPainter generates the world according to your instructions about the terrain height and type, and any additional "layers" you've painted which can add things like trees and other vegetation, caves or any type of custom object. You can paint and sculpt the terrain by hand, but you can also use height maps and/or image masks. | forum | Captain Chaos |
