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.

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.

Optimization Strategies: Static Batching unites several stationary game elements into a single GPU drawing operation (such as terrain together with buildings). The use of simple colliders should include box and sphere types instead of complex mesh colliders to minimize processing requirements.

Fixed an issue where Mesh objects created through MeshUtils.createMesh caused data anomalies. Fixed an issue where the setter for the Mesh:: _ hash attribute was not bound. Fixed an issue where the main light source still acted on the terrain after baking. Fixed a command-line build occasional resource loss issue.

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.
