Badlands with FT3

jbclaypool

Is there a way to make badlands with FT3? My thought was to fill the area with various hill sections in Simple Create and possibly erode it separately from other areas. Related questions would be what erosion parameters to use and, just curious, is it possible to do multiple Simple Creates?

It may be possible, but I don't know that it would generate reasonable results for the amount of effort required. Badlands are a very localized erosional feature (the whole South Dakota Badlands area is about 100 miles across) and FT isn't much good at that sort of thing because it's mostly intended for whole-world things. I would probably use Wilbur for something local like this ( https://www.cartographersguild.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=70261 shows the concepts for making exactly the shapes you want - from https://cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=29412 ).

Thanks Joe. In the back of my mind I thought Wilbur would be necessary.
