Everything is just one big texture. I export the rendered terrain from Blender as a RGBA image but with alpha value set to depth. The custom terrain shader uses the z-channel to draw water in lower areas of the level. The graphics backend rewrite took a while. However, the situation is now good. So it’s RGBZ.

Most of TileSet's systems (rendering, collisions, physics, navigation, …) are now using a concept of "layers" (this might be renamed). Terrains are the more powerful replacement of autotiles. Unlike autotiles, terrains can support transitions from one terrain to another, as a tile may define several terrains at once.

For interior scenes and close-up exteriors in architecture, Lumen is highly effective and makes rendering easy, comfortable, and quick and offers the highest quality at the same time. One of the reasons is its physically based rendering material system and importing pipeline that makes importing models and projects into Unreal Engine easy.

Since the last post I’ve been working on the terrain’s vegetation. Static batching : combines static (not moving) GameObjects into big Meshes, and renders them in a faster way. The foliage shader has an alpha cutout value and uses a texture + culling set to off (it is visible from both sides of the planes).
