Geo paint<\/h4>\n

With geo paint you can make things like Corona Arch, stalagmite, stalactites, rock bridges all sorts of natural erosion and stuff.
To start making a shape with geo paint, just press \u00a0 \"\"<\/a> \u00a0 button from the shelf.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”53.1%” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/cgelementary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GeoPaintSample.jpg” title_text=”GeoPaintSample” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” 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=”{}”]

As soon as you press this button your navigation will be locked to geo Paint emitter, and your frame Range will be limited to 20 frames, now just move around and resize the geoPaint to draw your mesh.
Note: as soon as you jump to frame 0, everything will be erased! After have created your shape make sure to remove geopaint.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” 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=”{}”]

Erase GeoPaint<\/h4>\n

As soon as you Press \u00a0 \"\"<\/a> \u00a0 button the brush will start erasing your mesh
Just note that erasing has a bit of drop-off, so the brush should be big enough to see its effect.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Remove geo paint and time limit<\/h4>\n

To remove the emitter and frame limit, right click on the \u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 icon and choose \u201cremove time limit and emitter, be careful not to accidentally hit \u201cdelete\u201d as that will remove the icon from the shelf! And has nothing to do with the script.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Add new layer to geo paint<\/h4>\n

Using Geopaint layers is very similar to using detail maps.<\/p>\n

To create a new layer just select Geopaint mesh and press \u00a0 \"\"<\/a> \u00a0 button.
The layer will be added as displacement map. To view it in viewport you can select the mesh and press Alt+3 but I recommend using IPR render to see the real quality of the displacement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Geo paint falloff<\/h4>\n

Just like terrains or detail map. select a GeoPaint layer handle and press \"\"<\/a>.
Beware that what Maya shows in viewport is different from what you see in render, so make sure to also check with IPR render when you are modifying falloff.<\/p>\n
