In this guide I will be using the raise, flatten, smooth and lower interaction modes to sculpt the 64x64 meter terrain we created in part 2 of this series. Keep in mind that for all terrain interaction modes, you can customize the brush by right clicking the interaction mode button, or resize the brush by clicking '[' and ']'.

			You probably noticed the jagged edges and hard shadows on the terrain after step 2. This is caused by extreme height differences within short distances. To compensate for this, you can use the terrain smooth interaction mode. To use the terrain smooth interaction mode, toggle the interaction mode button <span style="color:#FCFF27">(1)</span>, hover over the terrain you want to smooth and hold the left mouse button <span style="color:#FCFF27">(2)</span>.
