Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Terrain systems enable users to create landscapes for a game level and make use of environmental effects and systems such as wind. For the initial launch of O3DE, the engine will not have a built-in terrain system. It is still possible to make environments for game levels using meshes created in an external program, but a native terrain system in-engine will make it easier to create and iterate on environment levels without having to convert meshes,textures, and materials from an external tool.
Describe the solution you'd like
A fully-featured terrain editor with a brush system, the ability to raise and lower the terrain height, topography manipulation capabilities, the ability to add bodies of water and roads, vegetation painting, and object snapping-to-terrain.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Environmental authoring tools to work with externally-created meshes instead of a native tool.
