2018.3 Terrain Shader

Postby CrashDummy » Fri Feb 01, 2019 4:45 pm

Hello, I'm trying to understand if my idea is feasible by using Amplify Shader. I'm currently working on a 2018.3 terrain in the legacy pipeline (no HDRP or LDRP). The only new option I'm using is the "Draw instanced".

My goal would be:
- 8 albedo (with respective normal, metallic, roughness, ambient occlusion and height maps)
- height blending
- compatible with GPU instancing of Unity's terrain

Ideally I would pack the textures or use texture arrays (because 8 * 6 would be about 48 textures).

I saw on the website that there is a single pass four splat terrain shader as example. At the current state of the editor, would it be possible to extend it to achieve my needs?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, we've recently added support for Terrain instancing over Unity 2018.3, so it should be possible to either extend or use that sample as a base for your own shader while using this new feature, but please do let us know if you come across any sort of issues.

Hey, I downloaded the latest Amplify version on the asset store on Unity 2018.3.6, but shaders made with amplify does not seem to work with draw instanced, is it still under work ?

Thanks for your help,

Jonathan

Hello!

You'll need to toggle the new Instanced Terrain parameter in the main output node, can you please confirm that it's On?
