Question by jsunandmax · Jan 15, 2013 at 06:38 PM · textureterrainuvstretching

stretching UV's on terrain

Has anyone solved the problem of stretching UV's on vertical surfaces generated by heightmaps on terrain? I'm sure we are all well-aware of the issue, correct? When the offset between vertices is large (surface becomes vertical, like a cliff wall) but the UV allocation is constant you get big ugly stretched textures. Here is an example:

thanks in advance!

Thanks but that wont work for me for a couple reasons; mostly due to current dependance on Splatmaps for multi-texture allocation and vertex colors are used for something else. Good resource and there might be something there my engineers can use, so thanks!

To be clear, ideally someone has an artist-friendly solution :)

looks like others have posted this problem without sufficient resolution:

I wrote a shader that eliminates stretched textures on vertical surfaces of Unity terrain:
