Custom Paint Layers

Custom Paint Layers

Custom Terrain Painting Layers

Our first 5 layers are all part of the main terrain/auto paint system and work great. Leave these alone but add another new set.


New "Custom" 2nd set of layers

1 These are activated only if required.
2 These layers sit over the main layers and are not part of the auto paint system.

Great for all kinds of custom painting, road edgings, raliways, breaking up terrain tiling of normal layers.
Guys who love terrain editing will love these.

yes i agree, it can be done, but is less effiecient for performance. This feature will be added later, but it will be added, lots of terrain shader work to do before then though, eg. shadows on terrain hehe... :D

With reference to my post in bugs etc and the auto layer painting.

I think this new idea would work better and you wouldnt have to change the auto paint layers etc at all.

Definately think leave the original autopaint layers alone as they work great and add this new custom layer set instead (as and when)
