painting maps<\/h4>\n

Using this button    \"\"<\/a>     you can paint different attributes for your terrain.
At first, I was wanted to add my custom attributes to paint but very soon I noticed a lot of bugs and
Maya just wasn\u2019t handling custom attributes properly. So sadly, we should now use Maya\u2019s defaultattributes.
Diffuse = for painting Height map.
incandescence = for painting Detail Map.
Translucence = for masking Textures and flow map.<\/p>\n

WARNING: MAKE SURE TO SAVE RIGHT AFTER YOU CREATED A NEW MAP OR ELSE MAYA WILL NOT
SAVE IT AND IT CAN CAUSE YOUR TERRAIN GET RUINED.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_padding=”3px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Paint heightmaps<\/h4>\n

To paint height map you should assign a new map to the diffuse attribute.
Make sure to check \u201cUpdate on stroke\u201d, this way the terrain will update instantly when you make changes to your map.<\/p>\n

After you assigned a new map press the\u00a0 \"\"<\/a> \u00a0 button to use diffuse map to terrain as height map.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now you have a new attribute to control the
height of painted texture.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":491,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","knowledgebase_cat":[133],"class_list":["post-4563","knowledgebase","type-knowledgebase","status-publish","hentry","knowledgebase_cat-terrain_surface"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/knowledgebase\/4563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/knowledgebase"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/knowledgebase"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/491"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4563"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/knowledgebase\/4563\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5449,"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/knowledgebase\/4563\/revisions\/5449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"knowledgebase_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fknowledgebase_cat&post=4563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
