Hello all,
I'm new to Terragen, trying to create a mountain lake, but I want the sides of the lake to slope relatively gently into the lake, then rise quite abruptly into the surrounding mountains. I'm finding this effect very hard to achieve. Can someone give me some pointers as to how they'd achieve this? I've tried using a distance shader on the mountain fractal - not very effective, though it did at least make a roughly roundish lake which is what I wanted. I've also tried creating a heightfield in Photoshop (just a simple gradient from black in centre to white, then blended to environment when I apply). Again, not so good. Thanks in advance.
