Terrain Editor or landscape editor?

This was a big concern for me when i first looked into using udk for my assignment.

After playing around with both i have found that landscape editor and terrain editor are almost the same thing they just both have different quirks about them and landscape editor is the newest of the two.

I decided to go the landscape editor due to the resources out there for this particular tool are quite easy to find as alot of people have made great tutorials for them. (i will post my links in future posts)

Whether you use Cryengine or UDK heightmaps can be created and used for both but what program you decide to use is your choice.

That being said i will be using program-wise as follows:
- Maya 2012
- Mudbox 2012
- UDK 2012
- Worldmachine
- Photoshop

Thanks for reading Stay tuned as i update further.
