Alright, once you’ve done that, open up blender, then we can get started!
Firstly, select everything, then delete it, so we have an empty workspace; then, add a circle and make it so it has 8 sides, scale it up a bit. Now we should have this:


Now extrude it up a bit and add a loop cut in the middle. Now we should have this:
now move the loop cut that we just added to the middle a tiny bit to the left or right, so it’s a little bit random. Now we should have this:

Now select the whole top and click e without doing anything, then click s and scale outwards a little bit, and then we should have this:

then extrude up and click fill them, and we should have this:

Now click the very top and inset a new face, then grab it and bring it up just a tiny bit, so it has a bit of depth. Here’s what it should look like now:

Now grab the bottom edge of the bottom top and bring it up or down a little bit on all sides; since this part is a bit confusing, here’s a video. Also, while you are at it, fill the bottom.


Now our terrain is done except for the UV editing; since this part is a bit difficult, ill provide another video. Before we get started, make sure to get a color pallet!

Phew! that was a lot of work! At least for me :eyes: Please enjoy the finished product:
