Sculpt Like a Master
Unity provides refined in-editor tools to carve, raise, and lower sweeping and mountainous terrains.
Trees, Bushes, Rocks, Grass
Foliage brings a landscape to life. Paint foliage on the terrain with a variety of brushes. Unity will automatically billboard distant foliage, so you can paint a huge landscape and have it be lively, too.
Detail Texture Painting
Tiled textures can be blended and combined with a collection of accurate tools. This allows a handful of low-resolution textures to make varied and exciting terrains.
Lightmaps Integrated
Unity's terrain engine is fully integrated with the Beast lightmapper, so you can achieve the perfect match between terrains and other art elements.
Blazing Speeds
Unity's terrain engine combines extreme ease of use with incredible performance. Paint hundreds of thousands of trees, millions of ground debris, and billions of blades of grass. At configurable distances foliage rendering transitions to billboards for maximum performance.
Tree Creator
For Unity 3 we developed an integrated tree authoring tool. You can use a mix of procedural generation and hand placement freely across different parts of your tree.
Integrated Editing
Set up your tree within the Unity editor, add branches twigs and leaves with realtime previewing in the editor. Rearrange tree hierarchies with simple drag and drop.
Automated Texture Atlasing
Simply assign leaf, branch and twig materials to your tree. Unity will atlas all textures together and bake the maps you need. It will also calculate ambient occlusion and wind factors for your tree.
Automatic Fillrate Optimization
Unity 3 automatically optimizes your leaf quads from the texture, giving 20-30% fillrate optimization.
