WATER BRUSH

Add bodies of water on your map

This tool lets you paint or draw water areas on your map.

BRUSH AND SHAPES

You can choose to either paint the water with a brush of various sizes, in the same spirit as in the Terrain Brush Tool, or draw a shape, as in the Pattern Shape Tool.

Click either on the brush size or on the shape you want, then start painting or drawing by clicking on the map.

You can change the brush size with the MOUSE WHEEL or with [ and ].

Hold click and draw your water area, then release click and see your water being generated

Choose from preset shapes or draw your own using freeform mode by clicking on the corresponding shapes.

Rectangle shape

Circle shape

Freeform shape (hold SHIFT to bend)

ERASING WATER

You can remove a part of your water body by doing the same as above while holding ⌥ ALT. Your painting area will turn blue and will be removed.

Hold ALT while drawing to remove water

UNDERWATER ASSETS

By choosing the Below Water layer in the other tools, you can place your assets underwater.

The water is transparent, and anything set under the water layer will appear with different colors and with a very slightly distorted shape.

WATER COLORS

You can choose shallow water color (next to the edges of the water area) and the deep water color (far from the edges).

See the Custom Color Palette Chapter for more info.

You can change the blending distance between the shallow and the deep water colors. The higher the number will be, the larger the blend will be.

To apply any color change (including blend distance), you need to update the water shape, either by adding some or by removing part of it.

BORDER

You can remove the black lines and keep only the color by clicking on Disable Border.

Pro Tip: Disable the border and set the shallow color to transparent to achieve a smooth blend with your terrain.

USEFUL INFO

KNOWN BUGS

Version: At least up to 1.2.0.1 Bug description: If you add large quantities of water and/or that your water touches the edge of the map, you might experience a bug in which the water is all over the place. Unfortunately there’s not much to do about it except reduce your water area. If you really need that much water, look for custom packs containing water patterns or terrain and use them to replace the water tool.

📌 Good to know 📌

• Even though there’s a slight animation on the water in Dungeondraft, it can’t be exported.
