00:00:01,970 --> 00:00:02,570
Hey there.

2
00:00:02,570 --> 00:00:05,810
This lecture is going to quickly go over the terrain tool.

3
00:00:05,900 --> 00:00:11,330
This tool is very neat because it lets us create smooth terrain with a multitude of customizations.

4
00:00:11,570 --> 00:00:16,790
The tool also has a feature where we can generate terrain based on a seed, and that seed can create

5
00:00:16,790 --> 00:00:20,030
lakes, caves, mountains and even ravines.

6
00:00:21,140 --> 00:00:23,660
So to use this tool, we can go to the home tab.

7
00:00:24,610 --> 00:00:27,070
And open the terrain editor from this button right here.

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,870
This window should open.

9
00:00:28,870 --> 00:00:31,360
And this tab is the first one I'd like to showcase.

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,860
Using the generate button, we can generate a zone we'd like to generate terrain in.

11
00:00:37,150 --> 00:00:42,340
Right now, this zone is quite large, so I'm going to change the size to be something much more modest.

12
00:00:48,530 --> 00:00:49,880
We can select the biomes.

13
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,680
We'd like this generated terrain to include, as well as the size of the biomes and whether or not we'd

14
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,060
like to generate caves.

15
00:00:56,660 --> 00:01:01,790
From this point, we can enter in a number to act as our seed for generating the terrain, just like

16
00:01:01,790 --> 00:01:04,550
how Minecraft uses seeds to generate its terrain.

17
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,980
So I'll just put a random number in here.

18
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,570
And now I can press the generate button to create some terrain within this zone I defined.

19
00:01:12,750 --> 00:01:15,810
So here you can see it generating Awesome.

20
00:01:15,810 --> 00:01:17,970
So now I have this very cool looking terrain.

21
00:01:18,090 --> 00:01:20,610
And we've even got some caves in here to.

22
00:01:21,910 --> 00:01:26,710
If you don't like the terrain, you can easily remove it by using control and Z or hitting the clear

23
00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:27,250
button.

24
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:34,240
The next tab here allows us to define a zone where we'd like to create terrain, and then we can use

25
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,840
the fill button to fill that zone in with a specific terrain type.

26
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,630
So I'll just make some terrain here real quick.

27
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,480
And I'll resize it to my liking.

28
00:01:44,260 --> 00:01:46,480
And then I'll fill it up with some grass.

29
00:01:47,490 --> 00:01:50,490
And now with this terrain, I can move it using the MOVE tool.

30
00:01:51,420 --> 00:01:53,460
I can also continue to resize it.

31
00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:57,350
And I can even rotate the terrain as well.

32
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:06,490
I can also copy this terrain and then paste it too, and move this paste to terrain around as well.

33
00:02:10,510 --> 00:02:17,020
The last tab is where I can manipulate my terrain so I can grow terrain that already exists, or I can

34
00:02:17,020 --> 00:02:23,350
add new terrain, or I could subtract terrain or make the surface flat, smooth out the surface and

35
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:23,980
so on.

36
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,870
So I can make some mountains here and I'll leave all the properties for my brush at their default.

37
00:02:31,220 --> 00:02:35,480
So I'm kind of just growing a small little grass mountain here.

38
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,510
That looks about good enough.

39
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,010
So then now I can smooth out my mountain.

40
00:02:45,660 --> 00:02:48,570
So as you can see, we have a lot of control over our terrain.

41
00:02:49,220 --> 00:02:52,520
We can also paint on some different terrain and mix up how it looks.

42
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,310
So I'll paint on a little bit of mud here as well.

43
00:03:00,070 --> 00:03:02,290
And not about looks good enough.

44
00:03:04,010 --> 00:03:08,720
So this was just a brief overview of how you could use the terrain tool to make custom terrain in your

45
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:09,770
Xbox games.
