Daniel, One way...select create terrain. Click on the E and in the editor, lower the terrain. Drag the level indicator down (you'll have to experiment with this setting). Set flow to 2 or 3 dots, set hard to almost soft or fuzzy. Lastly select 256 in the grid section. Then simply write w/ pen/tablet or mouse. Don't forget about the Undo botton Assign a material texture (sand) and render. Hope this helps. - Art -
