Land Texture

Land textures are the graphic images that can be placed on landscape squares. There is also data relating to Havok physics, sound, and other game properties. To create a new landscape texture, press the Insert key, or right-click and choose New from within the LandTexture section of the Miscellaneous tab in the Object Window. Double left-click on any reference in the LandTexture tab to open its base reference window. Press the Add Image File button in the window to choose a texture to load as the landscape texture. A preview thumbnail image of the texture will then be displayed below the button.
