Hi i'm trying to make a 3d planet using a sphere and a terrains but the problem is that at the base of the terrain sticks out of the sphere what the arrow is pointing at is what i want to get rid of  what can i do about this and is there a tut about this thanks.

Under the editor of the terrain is a slider on the right side of the window that allows you to crop that part off. I can't show you as am on my husbands computer mine is in the shop. If you click on the E it will bring up the editor and the left window if it isn't showing the slider at the top there is a arrow that you click on to bring it up. Just slide the bottom of the slider up till you crop what you want off. then click on the check mark to go back and see if you have done enough. Hope this helps

With the terrain selected, click on the E for edit button. Find the Editing Tools pallete, click-and-drag to the right, on the button next to Round Edges. This will give a smoothed-out  round base to your terrain, which will fit easier on a sphere.

Be sure to scale the resulting planetary sphere and it's terrains so they are in proportion, though. As you show, the mountain might be suitable for an asteroid (or maybe Mons Olympus, but not an Earth-like planet.

You can also clip the edges off completley, but LONG time since I usd Bryce, can't recall how I'm afraid :)
it's like vue, a clipping slider came up on right side of the picture??

Make your terrain then click on blobmaker tool .Remove edges with clipping tool resize as needed.

"Reinstall Windows" is NOT a troubleshooting step.

This thread has brought up some things I hadn't though of before and bear thinking about but if you can settle for a bump map there is another way.

The controversial series of planets maps that included I believe it was called 'blue mars'  was good as a study for this.

simply take a terrain and do a distance render on it at 2:1 horizontal/vertical ratio. then apply the bump map to a sphere using the texture editor. the devil is in the details - it's been so long since I did this I'd need to refresh my memory just to give you a step by step, but play around with it - you'll get it. (As I recall and i could be wrong the 'B'  channel was intended for use as bump maps.) 

blobmaker tool ?
 

here then clip unwanted portions.

"Reinstall Windows" is NOT a troubleshooting step.

here is a quik planet made with 3 spheres. 2 terrains using the blob tool combined and rendered .top terrain is a little tal but it's a quiky

"Reinstall Windows" is NOT a troubleshooting step.

Here's how to clip. Press the E to edit the terrain Click on the thing next to the arrow on the terrain canvas and a window shows up behind. Grab the bottom of the bracket and pull up. Everything that turns red is clipped off and not created.

slightly off topic but if you grab the top of that bar and bring it dn it will flatten the top.

"Reinstall Windows" is NOT a troubleshooting step.

Thanks again
