TextureLODBiome

int [] ProceduralPlanets.PlanetManager.TextureLODBiome

staticgetset

Gets or sets the texture LOD Biome texture resolutions array.

The Biome texture dictates the surface of a planet, e.g. desert, forest, ice, tundra, etc. The Composition texture controls the coverage and combination of two Biome textures. It is not very important that the Biome texture is high resolution since it is tiled much more compared to the Compositionn, Clouds, and Cities textures.

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.TextureLODBiome = 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 };
