    The Terrain Tools are really awesome. However I've had some issues with them while checking them out. But instead of creating individual bug reports, I thought it would be easier to collect them in a single thread if you don't mind. I'm wondering though if these will get addressed since I guess the Environment System will be picked up again at some point and replace the Terrain System?

    Either way, here's the first:

    * The preview and the noise are flipped. How can I rotate the brush so that it resembles what I see in the noise?

    Using Sculpt > Noise, version 3.0.1-preview

    you can look up the documentation, I guess there is a hotkey for rotating the brush(A, S, or D I don't remember which one), there is an option in the inspector too (Brush Rotation)

    It doesn't change the fact that it's always mirrored / flipped, no matter the rotation.

    There is a scale setting too(under the Transform Settings), try negating it,
    Although you may have to find that exact noise texture again

    It does look from the image though that image +y co-ordinate corresponds to +z axis in world space, so it's not technically flipped, you are seeing it from opposite side

    Thanks, but I'd like to have a solution, not a workaround :)
