LogInThe update introduces new Terrain stamping brushes, GPU instancing capabilities for Terrain Details, SpeedTree integration, and other improvements.
Unity released new Terrain demo scenes for the High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) and the Universal Render Pipeline (URP).
The update aims to improve Terrain authoring experience and includes:
- new Terrain stamping brushes,
- refined material painting controls,
- GPU instancing capabilities for Terrain Details,
- SpeedTree integration,
- updated Terrain Sample Asset Pack.
The team also shared a collection of tips, tricks, and best practices for the new scenes. You can install Terrain Tools with additional Terrain painting brushes and utility tools to help you with worldbuilding.
New demo scenes have 50 million triangles rendered in a few view angles and contain a variety of custom trees from SpeedTree.
Unity 2021.2's HDRP also allows you to create realistic and dynamic skies with the new Volumetric Clouds system. The TerrainData assets can then be shared between HDRP and URP projects.
The scenes are available for Unity 2021.2. To find out more about the project, visit Unity's blog. Also, don't forget to join our new Reddit page, our new Telegram channel, follow us on Instagram and Twitter, where we are sharing breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.
