A quick preview of the up coming Heathen Engineering's Terrain Tools asset. This tool provides the developer with a number functions and features for working with Unity Terrain objects and Custom Mesh objects standing in as Terrains. The allows for the import and export of PNG heightmaps, control maps and of course 'prototypes' or 'layers'. It includes Heathen Engineering's World Projection Triplanar shaders and it provides tools for generating heightmaps, auto-texturing terrain, smoothing, blending and more.
The tool is designed to run at edit time or run-time and includes synchronous 'main thread' and asynchronous 'multi-threaded' options for many functions.
The tool is still under development but should be ready for Unity Asset store consideration in the next few days.
