🚜 Giants Editor Basics: Master Terrain Tools (Sculpt, Paint, Foliage & Infolayers)! 🌄

You’re ready to move beyond the very basics of the Giants Editor (GE) and actually shape your map? Then this video is exactly what you need!
In this tutorial, we dive into the core terrain tools that every modder should understand — from sculpting hills and digging holes, to painting textures, adding foliage, and working with essential info layers.

✨ What you’ll learn:
✅ How to sculpt terrain: raise, lower, smooth & shape
✅ How to paint textures and avoid tiling
✅ How to add foliage like grass, flowers, and bushes
✅ How info layers work (farmlands, environment, collisions, indoor mask…)
✅ When and why to use procedural placement
✨ And by the end, you’ll have created your own small landscape!

Whether you're completely new or already familiar with the Giants Editor, after this video you’ll be able to build believable landscapes and understand how Giants structures terrain logic. 🌿
