TextureLODComposition

int [] ProceduralPlanets.PlanetManager.TextureLODComposition

staticgetset

Gets or sets the texture LOD Composition texture resolutions array.

The Composition texture controls the layout of continents, mixture of biome materials, water coverage, shorelines, polar coverage and more. It is generally more important to have this texture at a higher resolution compared to Biome textures for example. If you can only have a few textures at a higher resolution, make it the Compositionn texture and the Clouds texture.

Array size must be same as TextureLODSteps property.

Valid values in the array are 0 (16 x 16) - 7 (2048 x 2048).

0 - 16 x 16 pixels,
1 - 32 x 32 pixels,
2 - 64 x 64 pixels,
3 - 128 x 128 pixels,
4 - 256 x 256 pixels,
5 - 512 x 512 pixels,
6 - 1024 x 1024 pixels,
7 - 2048 x 2048 pixels

// This example requires a PlanetManager instance to be present in the scene. 
// Add the "Procedural Planets/Prefabs/PlanetManager" prefab to the scene first. 
// Then create another gameobject and attach this example script to it.

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
 void Start() 
 {
 // Create a random planet at the center of the scene
 PlanetManager.CreatePlanet(Vector3.zero);

 // Set planet texture detail mode to LOD (texture resolution for all planet textures are independently 
 // generated at a level of detail specified for a given size of the planet on the screen.
 PlanetManager.TextureDetailMode = PlanetManager.TextureDetailModes.LOD_Separate;

 // Set number of LOD steps to 5.
 PlanetManager.TextureLODSteps = 5;

 // Set LOD resolution array to: 7 (2048 x 2048), 6 (1024x1024), 5 (512x512), 3 (128x128), 1 (64x64) 
 PlanetManager.TextureLODComposition = new int[5] { 7,6,5,3,1 };

 // Set the planet sizes used to transition between mesh LOD levels
 // Note: There are only 4 entries in this array because it specifies the size *between* the LOD levels.
 // The float values in the array represent the ratio between screen height and the height of a planet as seen by the camera.
 // E.g. the value 0.5f = when the planet takes up half the screen height. 
 PlanetManager.TextureLODPlanetSizes = new float[4] { 0.6f, 0.4f, 0.2f, 0.05f }; 
 }
