I was just having fun in ZBrush, trying out tools that I haven’t used much yet and I got this idea. I used the single layer brush with ZAdd on an empty canvas to paint the top view of a landscape. Then I grabbed it off the canvas, then turned the alpha into a 3d tool. You can play with the mesh density and the depth density setting to get different results. Then I put the new object into the scene and played with the move/scale/rotate to get the perspective. Then I edited it like I would any other 3d tool. I painted the rest in other layers. This is not the greatest image but I thought if used effectively, could result in great landscape images. Hope that was new news for someone. It was for me!
