Making an island

There are several steps toward making your island paradise. First, you will create a basic landform with the ANT Landscape generator. Next, you will edit the finer details to make it the way you want it. Then, you will paint it.

Using the ANT Landscape addon

The ANT Landscape addon does procedural modeling. You make the object by assigning mathematical settings, and it allows you to set factors, such as the height and size of a landscape and use other settings to control the contours of the terrain. You don't have to manipulate vertices as you did with the boats. You can make flat landscapes or spherical planets.
