Your First Scene - Part 2        

Find the Paging Manager icon in the Objects panel and drag it onto your scene.

Image

Now, find and drag the Light object onto your scene.

Image

In the Properties panel, change it's type to LT_DIRECTIONAL and switch to Rotate transformation mode and adjust it's orientation.

Image

In the Objects panel, find the Terrain Group object and add it to the scene by dragging it into the Render Window.

Image

Go to the Scene Explorer and right-click the newly added Terrain Group to add a new page.

Image

In the Add Page dialogue, you can leave the properties at their default values. We'll change them later.

Image

In the Scene Explorer panel select our Light object (Light#0) and use the Properties panel to set it's position to -512,300,512.

Image

Our terrain page is centered at that position, and we want our light to be hovering over it. Double-click the light in the Scene explorer, or press [F] on the keyboard to focus our camera on the light.

Now that we are hovering over our new terrain, we decide that we want to change it's textures to something more 'nature-like'.

Image

Make sure that the page is selected in the Scene explorer, and change the diffuse and normal maps.

Image

Drag a house mesh from the Meshes section of the Resources panel, while holding down [SPACE], onto the scene.

You will probably notice that the ground is looking really grainy and out of scale. Fix it by adjusting the WorldSize property of Layer1, when the page is selected.

Image

A WorldSize with the value '6' looks more natural:
