by Roger D Vargas · in Torque 3D Beginner · 04/10/2014 (6:36 am) · 4 replies

Im tinkering with an empty project and I have found a problem: cant figure out how to assing a material to the terrain. I have tried creating the material first and then the terrain, but anyway the material doesnt shows up in the list. I select the terrain and then the material editor, but anyway cant find a way to assign the material. Can somebody help me?

Start painting the terrain, Unless you are importing a Splat file along with the height map created by another program, you will need to paint the terrain manually. Even the "No material" material that is used by default is alterable in the terrain painter.

Terrain painter - add materials to the terrain painter pallet from the terrain painter pallet. In The Documentation under World Editor>Tutorials>Building Terrains and World Editor>Editors>Terrain Painter.

Thanks, that was my mistake, terrain materials are not normal materials.
