Landscape Auto Materail (LAM) is a comprehensive landscape and foliage creation toolset that augments built-in capabilities of the game engine. It allows automatic texturing of landscapes based on height, slopes etc, and automated foliage painting, thereby saving many hours of work.
LAM Unity features include:
Terrain shader
- A set of custom physical-based terrain shaders
- Automated terrain texturing based on slope and height, with full override ability.
- Height-based layers mixing
- Triplanar texturing support, eliminating “stretching” on slopes
- Multi-UV mixing to reduce repetitive tiles in distance
- DX11 tessellation support.
- Additional coloring map to reduce repetitiveness
- Paintable coloring layer - paint color directly on terrain
Foliage shaders
- Custom tree shaders with wind animation and leaf translucency, working with both built-in and prefab-based trees.
- Custom grass shader with translucency and texture-based wind animation.
Advanced foliage painting
- Multi-foliage brush tool that can paint several foliage types simultaneously - including mixing grass and trees.
- Auto-painter system that intelligently places foliage based on terrain textures, slope, and noise mask, with almost-realtime updates.
Custom foliage system (FoliagePainter Pro)
- Fully custom system allowing painting meshes on terrain
- Supports any shader, not just the ones included in package
- Automatically batches foliage instances for draw-call reduction
- Supports fully-static and runtime batching - Can be used to paint ANY prefab on terrain - lights, particle effects, etc.
- Fully supported by advanced painting tools in the package.
