mesh terrain shader when tiling has seams , help !
hi , everyone . i wrote a shader to support 6 or more layer in a terrain mesh on gles2 (mobile) .
cause gles2 limitation , i can only combine four texture to one and adjust the uv in shader .
(if layer and texture is one to one ,the instruction and temporary register int the shader with #pragma target 2.0 is not enought)
the follow pic show how the shader work:
i use the "layer1" to instead layer 1 to 3 and use the "control1 texuture rgb" to control what layer1~3 show.
the "layer2" instead layer 4 to 6 and the "control2 texuture rgb" to control what layer4~6 show.
and the texture title 1~6 value control all sub texture tiling (sorry for i type a wrong word "title" to "tiling" ).
the follow pic show the seams when tiling repeat.
and i also use a color only texture to show what it happen really ,the result bellow here:
this is the shader i wrote:
Shader "SL_ShaderLevel/SL_TerrainWithSixTexture_TestByXu" {
Properties {
_TextureTitle1("Texture Title 1", Range(1.0,20.0)) = 1.0
_TextureTitle2("Texture Title 2", Range(1.0,20.0)) = 1.0
_TextureTitle3("Texture Title 3", Range(1.0,20.0)) = 1.0
_TextureTitle4("Texture Title 4", Range(1.0,20.0)) = 1.0
_TextureTitle5("Texture Title 5", Range(1.0,20.0)) = 1.0
_TextureTitle6("Texture Title 6", Range(1.0,20.0)) = 1.0
_Splat0 ("Layer 1", 2D) = "white" {}
_Splat1 ("Layer 2", 2D) = "white" {}
_Control ("Control (RGBA)", 2D) = "black" {}
_Control2 ("Control2 (RGBA)", 2D) = "black" {}
}

}
ENDCG
}
Fallback "Diffuse"
}
and i also try to set a tiny offset to ignore the edge sampling . but no effect .i guess the tex2D() func in shader may get the wrong sampling.
could anyone help ? thx a lot !
by the way , this is all my resources files:
I want to help you，But....
please do not post as an answer something that isn't an answer, use the comment section to comment of questions and answers.
looks easy enough to solve you just need to redo the 4 texture thing real quick to add some buffer space.
http://wiki.polycount.com/EdgePadding
this will explain it, you basically put say a brown edge around the edge of a brown texture then you have that part transparent so its not drawn but when they go to sample they get a color close to what the actual texture is so it works.
there is also techniques to do things like extrude the edge of the texture.
But basically take heart its just the texture itself thats causing this and you need to go into photoshop, fix the texture and your in business :)
I know about it some but i'd suggest if you want up to date good info you post this in photoshop, or Gimp forums, texture artists actually know alot more about solving your issue than programmers. :)
thx sparkzbarca.
i try add some buffer space (and trim the Calculated UV to fix buffer space , for example 0.0 to 0.5 ->0.1 to 0.4 ),
but doen't work , the seams still exist...
this problem had troubled me for several days ...
am my shader had some problem on calculating ?
