6. Here is what we have so far. Looks like a forest, right? Only I think we have a little too much green. Lets fix that.

7. Lets go to the terrain texturing tool and paint some random patterns. I usually just use the grassy and muddy textures.

8. The forest is almost done, but it's looking a little flat. Use the raise and lower terrain tool to fix this.

You may notice when you are doing this, some of the trees will float.

To fix this, lower the land where the tree is until it drops down and is touching the ground.

9. Just keep tweaking it until you have some natural looking hills.

Floating trees is why I always place foliage last.

Not a bad tut, but it dies need more ground shrubbery.
