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. Let’s assume we do it for each vertex on a mesh with let’s say 10’000 vertices.   Asset placement - depending on mesh height vertices. Before we start.

A shader is a script where you write code that determines how the colors will be rendered based on various scenarios like lighting and material configuration. The ZWrite Off and ZTest Greater are responsible for making the shader render the material behind other objects. What Is a Shader?

This was a necessary change for many reasons: It's much, much simpler to write import/export code this way. If you care about using meshes separately, it is also possible to tell Godot to save them as files. Reimports will overwrite those meshes, though.

Ensure your meshes are marked as "Static Bake", then enable SDFGI in the Environment settings. Occlusion generally works well, but you must ensure that walls are thicker than a voxel at the cascade they are rendering to in order to avoid light leaks. Will write an article about this soon.
