Week12/Individual Process - New Terrain

After collected all information and requirements from client, tutor, and other group members, I decided to create another environment with new terrain as well.

This time, I will have to carefully naming and numbering the package files in Unity with terrain and other materials so that I can simply export the environment and  share it within the group easier. Also, I have to flatten the whole terrain to make it as reality as the real world landscape. Which means I have to considering the location of the church with surrounding farmhouses and rivers.

I tried to use World Machine again to get the realistic terrain.

I tried to lower the whole terrain into plain and basin so that I can set water into it. The setting in World-Machine is quite limited because of the free version.

After the editing in World-Machine, it have to be export as .RAW file so that can be import to unit as heightmap. The import is plain without any texture.

 Then I paint the grass and rock texture on the terrain. Also I have use the 2D normal map on the grass.

 The free version of Unity can not add water in normal way, I create another plan and assign water texture on it.
