The Unreal Editor Landscape Quick Start Guide walks you through creating a new Landscape, sculpting the Landscape, creating new Materials for the Landscape, and painting those Materials on the Landscape.
The Landscape system inside of Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) is a collection of tools that allow you to create expansive outdoor environments. But before we dive into creating our first Landscape, let us first familiarize ourselves with some of the tools and keyboard inputs that are most commonly used to interact with the Landscape system.
All of the tools that are used to interact with the Landscape system can be found under the Landscape option that is located in the Modes dropdown menu. To enable the Landscape tools, open the Modes dropdown and choose the option from the menu.
The Landscape tool has three modes, Manage, Sculpt, and Paint that are accessible by clicking on their icons at the top of the Landscape's toolbar window. Each mode will allow you to interact with the Landscape in a different manner. Here is a very quick rundown of what each mode allow you to do.
