In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Also the transform component (I think) tool has random attributes that you can specify for each axis. Hope that helps.

Re: Class Project
Yes. Use the script I provided above, then activate the soft selection/soft mod tool, adjust the spread, then pull up.Originally posted by Jordanpierreag
I'm trying to create a sort of terrain maker for class but I wasn't sure how to go about doing it. I want a button that when its pressed, create a random terrain. I also want to create a slider that lessens or increases the depth of the random hills it creates. Something like that. I'm still not sure what to do. Hmmm...
There are other ways, but they require some technical know-how. I'm happy to help you out, I just want to know if all the really easy stuff works first.
