Terrain.basemapDistance

Switch to Manual
var basemapDistance: float;
float basemapDistance;
basemapDistance as float

Description

Heightmap patches beyond basemap distance will use a precomputed low res basemap.

This improves performance for far away patches. Close up Unity renders the heightmap using splat maps by blending between any amount of provided terrain textures.
