CAW sculpting circle question
« on: December 05, 2012, 07:25:29 PM »
Not certain if this is just my game, but when I get to the edges of a map, the sculpting circle vanishes unless I zoom in so close I cannot tell what I am doing. If I zoom out a bit it vanishes. I already set the lod distance to max on the camera options, which allowed me to see the circle zoomed out quite a bit. But this is like, I can see the circle and then moving to the edge without zooming in or out, it vanishes. Is this a normal thing or is there a way to fix it. And if it is normal, how does anyone work on the edges of a land. Thanks!!

It's when your camera goes over the edge of the map. Keep it on the map and the circle will stay on the map. It's some weird glitch. You have to position your camera over the map and work blind basically, then you could rotate back to see if you're doing it right.

It happens if camera point is outside of the grid square you are trying to sculpt, I'd sometimes get it in central areas of the map if I am trying to sculp area in other grid square. Just try to position camera in same square and you'll see the circle (sculpting and painting both act similar).
