Description

The Terrain module implements Unity's Terrain rendering engine available through the Terrain component.

Classes

DetailPrototypeDetail prototype used by the Terrain GameObject.
PaintContextThe context for a paint operation that may span multiple connected Terrain tiles.
SpeedTreeWindAssetSpeedTreeWindAsset generated by the SpeedTreeImporter, contains wind version and configuration data for SpeedTree wind simulation.
SplatPrototypeA Splat prototype is just a texture that is used by the TerrainData.
TerrainThe Terrain component renders the terrain.
TerrainCallbacksThis static class provides events that Unity triggers when Terrain data changes.
TerrainDataThe TerrainData class stores heightmaps, detail mesh positions, tree instances, and terrain texture alpha maps.
TerrainExtensionsExtension methods to the Terrain class, used only for the UpdateGIMaterials method used by the Global Illumination System.
TerrainLayerDescription of a terrain layer.
TerrainMapType for mapping 2D (X,Z) tile coordinates to a Terrain object.
TerrainPaintUtilityA set of utility functions for custom terrain paint tools.
TerrainUtilityProvides a set of utility functions that are used by the terrain tools.
TreeTree Component for the tree creator.
TreePrototypeSimple class that contains a pointer to a tree prototype.
