Getting Started with Terrain Tools in Unity Part 2: Textures and Trees

You won’t be able to paint any textures until adding a Layer to your Palette. Press the Add Layer button.

If you installed the basic Unity Terrain Tools, you should see a few options for textures to paint on to your landscape. Let’s start with some dirt.
