Re: Amir's Portfolio environments
Hey Choco, Thanks for the detailed explanation! Nice! I've been hoping that perhaps you have managed to find a way to reference the landscape layers in another material but this appears to be a great workaround. At first I thought this approach would limit you to not being able to modify the terrain once foliage had been… -

Thanks, there is a material function that allows you to generate a normal map out of a heightmap/grayscale texture in the material editor :) -

I've been doing some testing lately : - I've implemented custom lighting model for meshes and terrain in order to get consistent shading when using static meshes on terrain : you can hardly make the difference between terrain and rock models. - Added Rim lighting to meshes and terrain : this seems to add a lot to the scene…
