Procedural Low Poly Terrain
Hi,
I need to procedurally generate low poly terrain at runtime, so far I can generate voxel terrain at runtime:
But the kind of terrain I need is this, as seen in this post:
In addition, I need to also make this mobile friendly.
Thanks for any help.
For the hard shaded look you need one normal on each vertex for every adjacent face. I don't know if Unity's terrain system is capable of doing that though. For a mobile friendly version I can only think of:
playing with the triangle sizes, the smaller the more vertices
breaking down the terrain into chunks, for every change affects the whole mesh and recreating the whole thing will cost a lot. Create smaller terrain tiles instead
Use the static batch utility to batch together what's newly created.
Use only one material for all chunks
^Basically this. As long as you make each triangle or quad have it's own vertices (no vertex sharing), there won't be any smooth shading.
