Terrain.heightmapMaximumLOD

Switch to Manual
var heightmapMaximumLOD: int;
int heightmapMaximumLOD;
heightmapMaximumLOD as int

Description

Lets you essentially lower the heightmap resolution used for rendering.

This can be used on low end cards to never display the highest lod terrain. A value of 0 means always showing highest detail. A value of 1 means the triangle count will be reduced to 1/4th. The heightmap resolution will be halved for width and height.

	function Start () {
		Terrain.activeTerrain.heightmapMaximumLOD = 1;
