Hello,
I'm struggling with retaining walls. Is there a technique to sculpting the land around the walls to hide the false platform and make it look somewhat realistic? I looked for tutorials but CrazyCanuck seems to avoid retaining walls, and I don't think Victrylnsports covers it on his Twitch. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? Thanks!

I'm sure there is a good tutorial out there but one doesn't come to my mind. I'm sure someone will chime in with a link. There's a couple different ways to do it. You can do a triple retaining wall, meaning making three retaining walls right next to each other so the top of the wall will cover more land, giving you more space to nicely sculpt it. The way I do it is to add flat wooden bridges around the top of the wall to hide the platform and give me room to sculpt. Tedious process regardless but looks great when pulled off.

Hi LoX,
Most designers doing retaining wall usually do a triple width wall in order to be able to sculpt around the wall front and back, VctryLnSprts did a recent updated tutorial on this which should be in the list that Justin has linked to in the previous post. mayday91283's tutorial is more to show how he makes retaining wall over an undulating area so you can try to get the retaining wall look like on the 17th at Sawgrass. While others, including myself, have done retaining wall with varying widths and multiple tiers, but no video tutorials, in order to sculpt the land around the retaining wall, my course Galenskap-Black shows an example of 3 double width tiers.
Hope this helps.

Awesome! Thanks guys! Triple stacking was the way to go. Turned out nicely for my first attempt.
