<\/span>The first button on the shelf. \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Unlike easy terrain 1 you can now add new terrain surfaces at any time and all terrain handles willaffect the new surface too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use A custom mesh<\/h4>\n

The Second button on the shelf.<\/span>             <\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

(don\u2019t use this on a mesh that is already aterrain surface)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You can use any mesh as terrain surface whether it\u2019s a simple sphere or a person like te fiti in moana or
maybe a dead giant\u2019s body that has turn into mountains over years or maybe you want your landscape
to be on the back of a turtle it is all possible, just select your mesh and press the second button on theshelf and that object will turn into a terrain surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Add new terrain handle<\/span><\/h4>\n

Select your mesh and press the + icon on the shelf            \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and it will add a new terrain handle.
