Since the last post I’ve been working on the terrain’s vegetation. Mainly I focused on generating grass that bends in the wind and some fern like plants, but what comes next is usable for all kind of meshes. Static batching : combines static (not moving) GameObjects into big Meshes, and renders them in a faster way.

This chapter is all about how I solved it (so far) to be able to place all kinds of assets like 3D-meshes or self-growing fractal seeds on the terrain. The code calculates Instantiations (spawning assets with the given parameters), which is quite heavy for the system to calculate. Before we start. Multithreading.

Technical details: Heightmaps are very similar to triangle meshes in term of collision detection. The difference is that heightmaps use an alternative first step to find which triangles to collide with, and then can use the same algorithm that triangle meshes use to generate contacts. release along with 4.0.

As I promised in this chapter I will dig deeper into the designing process around the creatures that will be walking on the procedural terrain. My personal solution was to program my own shape generator, based on values from the terrain generator. Designing the game world's creatures. Shape generation tool. Concept art.

It brings a brand new rendering engine with state-of-the-art PBR workflow for 3D, an improved assets pipeline, GDNative to load native code as plugins, C# 7.0 Still, this workflow is easy and efficient as 3D objects get a second set of UVs generated on import, and baking works with instantiated meshes, scenes and even GridMaps.
