which support for multi-terrains editing, empowered by GPU technologies, providing
|
|
the smoothest experience. It also give you the most flexible workflow by combining

|
question: Getting started with Polaris V2.
|
|
answer: 'Polaris terrains consist of 2 main parts, the terrain component and
|
|
the terrain data container, where the terrain component responsible for generate
|
|
geometry, assign material properties, render trees, etc.
|
|
|
|
Terrain tools
|
|
are built separately from the terrain component, including: Group Tool, Paint
|
|
Tool, Stamp Tool, Spline Tool, etc.
|
|
|
|
It support for a wide variety of
|
|
shading styles, so set up material correctly is very important for some terrain
|
|
tools to work! The Wizard can do this automatically when you create your terrain.
|
|
|
|
In
|
|
order to support for multi-terrains editing, some properties like Splat textures
|
|
and Foliage prototypes are stored as separate assets instead of bounding to
|
|
a single terrain.'

question: How to save some storage memory of Terrain Data?
|
|
answer: 'It is important to optimize your memory usage. For Terrain Data, you
|
|
can save some megabytes by reducing the resolution of unused maps.
|
|
|
|
For
|
|
example, if your shading model is Lambert Gradient Lookup, then the following
|
|
map maybe unused:
|
|
|
|
- Metallic Map
|
|
|
|
- Splat Control Maps
|
|
|
|
Set
|
|
the resolution of these maps to its lowest value (32).
|
|
|
|
Furthermore,
|
|
instead of having a super high resolution of height map, such as 4k, which
|
|
doesn''t make sense with low poly, we can reduce it to somewhere around 512

or 1024.'

question: It took too long for grass stamping, how to fix it?
|
|
answer: "Grass stamping maybe time-consuming since it have to perform some batching
|
|
and optimization. It\u2019s better to stamp on a particular region instead
|
|
of a whole terrain to avoid the editor from hanging too long."

question: How to fix missing polygon when working with geometry?
|
|
answer: "Sometime you can see some polygon is missing on the surface, to fix
|
|
this, you can use a geometry painter to paint over the missing spot, it will
|
|
regenerate and close the gap. \nThe best painter type to use in this situation
|
|
is Subdiv Painter."

question: How to create Tree Colliders?
|
|
answer: "Tree Collider component is automatically added as a child game object
|
|
of your terrain. Each Tree Collider will track only one target, to have more
|
|
target, you can add another Tree Collider by go to <b>GameObject>3D Object>Polaris>Tree
|
|
Collider</b>.\r"

question: Prepare for Nav Mesh baking.
|
|
answer: "Terrain geometry will be automatically marked as Navigation Static,
|
|
so Unity can easily grab it for nav mesh baking. However, trees rendered with
|
|
Polaris are not game objects, so Unity don\u2019t know how to carve holes on
|
|
the nav mesh for more precise result. You have to use a <b>Navigation Helper</b>
|
|
tool to deal with this. Go to <b>GameObject>3D Object>Polaris>Tools>Navigation
|
|
Helper</b> to create one.\n"

question: Set up terrain for vertex color painting.
|
|
answer: 'Do the following step:
|
|
|
|
- Select the terrain, under Geometry foldout,
|
|
set the Polygon Processor to <b>Albedo To Vertex Color</b> or <b>Albedo To
|
|
Vertex Color (Sharp)</b>. This will convert albedo map color to vertex color
|
|
after polygon generation.
|
|
|
|
- Select the Texture Painter, turn on <b>Force
|
|
Update Geometry</b>, set paint mode to <b>Albedo</b>.
|
|
|
|
- Paint.
|
|
|
|
<b>Your
|
|
terrain material should support for vertex color for it to work!</b>'
