Hey guys,

The Patch release is coming along nicely, but to keep ourselves safe I won't even give a rough date :)

Though I can say that our whole team is working hard on bug fixes and refactoring. Actually, we will also introduce a new feature in the patch release. Here is a little quiz from najak (he is working on this new feature now, so I have to post about it):

Question: What is the opposite of Smooth?

Answer: Sweet!

In the patch release you can sort of turn invert the smooth brush by pressing SHIFT and you will get our new Sharpen Brush. See here the actual result applied to Lost Isle 3:

That looks awesome, doesn't it? If this still is not enough here are the other terrain related things that are in the works right now:

• Edge Detection is being added for giving you a whole new dimension of control over the procedural painting.
• Base Texture Generation: Now the base texture will be based on what you painted in Terrain Editor, which will push the far view quality to a whole new level.

There are other things going on, but more on those later, this was just about all the exciting terrain news…
