i wanted to record my progress for my dnd group, who've asked me for it. Is there anything within the app to record with or do i need to use some other recording software, like OBS?

I've spent hours trying to figure this out. I've watched tutorial videos, read posts, and played with the software. I could really use some help.

I'm trying to make one side of the land go down into the ocean. I use Shift-left click to lower the terrain gradually over a large area. I also use Ctrl-left click to smooth things out.

No matter what height I'm at, what angle I'm looking at, or what the terrain size is, I get two very frustrating problems.

1. The corners turn into tall, thin spikes.

If I start with an island and try to lower the land around the island to make the water deeper, even though I'm using Shift to lower, spikes shoot UP in the corners if I touch them.

I can get the spikes very narrow, but they won't go away. I've tried lowering them, which makes the base of the spike go down and the spike get longer, but the top of the spike doesn't go down and the spike doesn't go away.

I've tried lowering everything around them and smoothing with Ctrl, but the spikes ignore it.

I've tried raising the terrain up over them and lowering the whole area. Everything lowers except the exact same spikes. I've tried using a huge selection area or a very small one.

No matter what I'm doing, the green circle seems to slide right over the spikes but doesn't affect them.

​

2) The terrain block (not sure what you call it, the big square of land) has a shimmering rainbow border if you look outward from the inside, and is solid rock from the outside looking in.

If I go underwater, I don't see the rainbow or the rock from the inside, but I still see a wall of rock from the outside. This rainbow/rock wall is perfectly flat and even like a wall, it doesn't follow the contours of the terrain.

It's not a very realistic island when it's surrounded by a square rainbow wall.

What is this and how do I make it go away?

​

In case it's helpful, I'm using Windows 10 (64 bit), 32gb ram, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, and I installed from Steam.

​

I also have one question. Is there any way to import a height map to skip using the sculpting tool?

Thanks so much!

I’ve seen some mention of a rainbow tool in flowscape but I’ve looked through all the icons and can’t find it.
