Adding a Rock
Rocks are an important element of many landscape designs.
Uses include borders, spillways, and accents to name a few. In Realtime

placement of each rock.
To add a rock:
1. Click Add

3. Select the desired
material by clicking on the picture in the property window.
4. Click to place the
rock. Hold Ctrl while you click to add more than one.
Rotating and Scaling Rocks
You can rotate and scale rocks for more variety. For
example, the following shows the same rock model at different sizes and rotation
angles:
Tips:
• The
Rock Border object automatically strings
together rocks and is great for adding borders.
• Rocks
come in various shapes and sizes. When you select a different rock model, the
size will be changed relative to the new model. Therefore, it's best to select
the desired rock before changing its size.
•
Adding too many rocks to your landscape can increase memory usage and
reduce performance. For areas that typically require a large quantity of rocks,
such as regions and paths, the rocks are part of the object's material instead
of separate objects. This helps to keep the rendering fast and makes the
landscape easier to work with.
