FT3 - Need help changing land to water

sauron11 · February 2018

Been trying to figure this out for a couple days now with no luck. I have what would make for 2 awesome continents except that they are connected by a land bridge making them one. I want to remove the land bridge and separate them. No matter how I try to do this, if I succeed in lowering the land below sea level, it jumps almost immediately to 10,000 feet or more in depth - which is reflected in the height map. What I'd love to find is a way to select an area and just set it to an altitude below sea level that is consistent with the rest of my shallow ocean, and if that isn't possible, then at least a way to lower it gently into the water.

Please assist, I'm really stuck now.

I'm not an expert on Fractal Terrains but when adding or removing land my advice is to use the prescale offset editing tools.The prescale offset editing tools are sensitive, so use a value of about 0.05 or 0.01 with these tools when painting. Use a light touch. Several clicks in an area with a large tool and low value are much better than one click with a small tool and high value.

I recommend a quick read of http://www.fracterra.com/CGTutorial/index.html to help you with editing. As Shessar suggests, the prescale editing tools with small values might be of great help.

Well, that doesn't work the least bit like I expected, but it does work, so I'm good. Thanks for the help.
