Suspended Terrain

[Gilvas]

Is it possible to create a cave and cave entrance, using only the terrain editor in UDK? For instance, from what I can tell, you cannot extend a terrains width to be wider than that of it's base.

You have to use the visibility tool to cut a hole in the terrain. Then you use some rock static meshes for the cave entrance. After that you can either use another smaller terrain for the cave floor or just static meshes.

And could you elaborate the "you cannot extend a terrains width to be wider than that of it's base" part.

I think he means you can't do a terrain bigger than it bounds.
But for a cave you can just use more models to increase the size, its not like someone can see the horrible work outside the cave xD
