3D Canvas: Triplanar mapping for Splatmaps and Heatmaps

Open
3D Canvas

Description

Textured landscapes with significant height variation that are generated without triplanar generally look pretty bad, especially if the textures are more complex. Currently, from what I can tell, triplanar is supported only on the material attached to the main 3D object, but terrain typically uses a few textures for variation, such as when using heatmaps or splatmaps in 3DC. The workflow that I think makes sense is going from splatmap/heatmap for textures on the terrain and then applying triplanar to each of the channels/textures. It seems like this would really improve the look of terrain generated and textures in 3DC as well as when importing such models from other software packages!
