# Creating Ground Surface relief

Step-by-Step instructions for creating smooth slopes using the Heights brush in the Heights Editor and slope edge stamps.

## Steps

1. In the Map Editor, switch to the [Land Editor](/editor/map-editor/3-landscape-editor.md)
2. Select the Heights brush in Land Editor and adjust the slope to the desired height and shape.

3. Switch to the Textures brush and select a suitable material from the list to paint the surface. Paint the surface.

## Actions to increase surface detail

1. Increase the polygon density of the ground surface mesh in areas with height differences using the Polygons brush. This will allow for more detailed terrain and smoother transitions between textures.
2. Paint the vertices of the ground surface mesh with the Color brush, highlighting the elevations and depressions on the ground surface.
3. Place edge stamps with characteristic terrain patterns along the lines of height differences.
