\n– Create splatmap based on face angles (adjustable slope angles)
\n– Texture painting (paint to any layer R, G, B, A)
\n– Obstacle detection (if collider is founded on mesh, different material is splatted around it, with custom radius. See main image, different texture around objects)
\n– Custom shader (4 textures, splatmask RGBA)
\n– Splatmap can be any resolution (low resolution works quite nicely too, if blurred)
\n– Gaussion blur function (adjustable strength)
\n– Basic random instantiate to mesh surface (pick prefab, enter amount)
\n– Texture paint: with custom brush (any texture)
\n– Texture paint: Circle brush, size, strength (alpha)
\n– Live preview (lower resolution) when adjusting splatmask generation angles
\n– Esc key to stop painting mode
\n– Collision mask: Enable\/Disable checking, Layer dropdown for collision objects layer selection
\n– Extras: Plain color shader (instead of textures)
\n–<\/p>\n
\n – Mask texture is not saved when texture painting on it<\/del>
\n– Mask texture gets cleared from the shader if you enter Play mode (need to manually assign it to SplatMask – slot)
\n– Doesnt work with non-square mesh (Can be fixed with couple lines)<\/del>
\n – Doesnt work with hills over 200m (Can be fixed with couple lines)<\/del>
\n – Playmode clears values..<\/del>
\n– Mousepanning gets stuck if in texture paint mode (have to press play\/stop)
\n– Missing editor undo support
\n– Custom brush resize (currently texture size is used directly)
\n– Could have bake to vertex colors and vertex color mask shader
\n– If terrain is over 65k vertices and gets splitted, problems..
\n– Needs cancellable progress bars for various actions..
\n– Separate user texture painting\/drawings texture (so it wont get cleared when splatmask is re-generated)
\n– Add normal maps support for shaders
\n– More to be added..<\/em><\/p>\n
\n– User could select which layer is used for object collider checking<\/del>
\n– Extra custom layer mask (so that user painted splats wont disappear if splatmap is regenerated)
\n – Realtime previews for adjusting mesh slope angles<\/del>
\n– Gaussian blur for invidual channels?
\n– Could bake ambient occlusion also? Or some lighting stuff?
\n– Extra channels on shader? 4 materials is not enough?
\n– Needs some height adjustment also (mountain tops different material?)<\/p>\n
