Hello,

Can you provide a tutorial on how to add rivers and lakes the same way that you add roads and railroads? I see there is a "Wet_puddle" layer... not sure what to do with it.

 

Thank you

Absolutely! I'll see if we can get something up later today or on Monday.

Here's the first part of the tutorial going through how to prepare the source data for rivers: https://www.terraformpro.com/docs/creating-rivers/

It shows you how to create a river with varying widths from a river polygon (like the data you might download from Open Street Map).

You can then import this data into TerraForm as a landscape spline and use the half-width attribute to set the half-width value in your landscape splines (it's this bit I'll write up into a new tutorial, but it's fairly obvious).

Hope this helps!
