One tool in the old terrain tools that I found extremely handy was the mountain grow tool. I could just click where ever I wanted and grow a mountain in seconds.
I made this mountain using the tool before converting it to smooth terrain. It was probably done within ten minutes.
You were able to edit the strength of it and the angle of the mountain (at least I think you could).
Now creating one or even a range of mountains with the slow grow tool requires meticulous effort and hours of work.
Like these mountains for example, they took me two days to make.
It would be really convenient to have some tool that could generate or grow large mountains very quickly.
I know one problem with this would be how many polygons are in smooth terrain compared to the old terrain. In the old terrain it didn’t have very many polys so it was easy to grow, generate large amounts of terrain very quickly. In smooth terrain there’s more polygons which makes the generating time even longer, which is also the reason why we aren’t able to make the grow tool any larger. Im sure somewhere there’s some work-around but a tool like this would be extremely helpful.
