This feature is in its first iteration, and is experimental!
General API
To be able to sculpt the world at (at runtime or in editor), a Height/Volume Sculpt Actor
needs to be placed in the world. This can be configured with a layer and priority just like a Voxel Stamp would.

To apply sculpts at runtime, get a reference to this actor (using a Get Actor of Class
node, for example). From there, sculpt operations can be applied using functions on that actor. To see all available functions, drag out from the actor's pin and look in the Voxel
section of the node search menu.
Gameplay Effects
There is not currently a framework for any type of gameplay effects based on sculpting. It is not easily possible to know, for example, how much terrain a Remove Sphere
call actually removed. This is something we hope to add in a future release.
Physics simulation (detecting and dropping floating or poorly supported pieces) is not supported.
Saving & Loading
Runtime edits can easily be saved and loaded using the Get Save
and Load from Save
functions. This data easily be wired into the standard Unreal save/load framework.

Multiplayer & Replication
Runtime edits are not replicated out of the box. They need to be manually replicated using RPCs, the same way any other gameplay code is replicated.
There is not currently any easy way to send the entire edited world state to a player who joins mid-session. It is possible to use the Get Save
function to obtain the edit data, and manually replicate that, but this quickly overflows the RPC limit. We intend to make this easier in the future.
Sculpt Graphs
Custom sculpt behaviors can be implemented using Voxel Graphs. Graph parameters can be set as needed.
