Vegetation editor

Vegetation Editor is used for editing the vegetation layer asset to be used for pinting vegetation on the terrain.

The Vegetation Editor can be opened in 3 ways:

Inspecting an existing vegetation asset:
Click right mouse button on the vegetation in the Project Browser.
Choose inspect from the dropdown menu
Click on Tools->VegetationEd on the main menu.
Clicking on a vegetation slot in the vegetation list of the vegetation tool in the terrain editor.

Once you have opened the Vegetation editor, the following panel will appear:

Vegetation file

Here you can:

Here you can set the parameter for the grass section of the vegetation:

Grass

The grass prefab, you can choose the one you want by clicking on the icon slot
Density

The grass object is placed every Density pixels on the vegetation mask. (see Vegetation Layers topic).

So greater values mean less density. Valid values range from 1.

The Trees section allows the loading of 4 different types of tree that are randomly chosen when painting the vegetation.

Here you can set the parameters of the trees sectrion of the vegetation asset:

Tree0

The first tree prefab you can set
Tree1

The second tree prefab you can set
Tree2

The third tree prefab you can set
Tree3

The fourth tree prefab you can set
Min Density

Tree objects are placed every [MinDensity, MaxDensity] pixels of the mask, where [MinDensity, Max Density] is a range from MinDensity to MaxDensity integers.
Max Density

Tree objects are placed every [MinDensity, MaxDensity] pixels of the mask, where [MinDensity, Max Density] is a range from MinDensity to MaxDensity integers.

It is not necessary to specify all 4 objects as different prefabs and it is not necessary to specify all objects

The Plants section allows the loading of 4 different types of plant that are randomly chosen when painting the vegetation.

Here you can set the parameters of the plants section of the vegetation asset:

Plant0

The first plant prefab you can set
Plant
1

The second plant prefab you can set
Plant
2

The third plant prefab you can set
Plant
3

The fourth plant prefab you can set
Min Number

Minimum number of plants that can be placed around a tree. It ranges starting from 0.
Max Number

Maximum number of plants that can be placed around a tree. It ranges starting from 0. It must be >= than Min Number.
Min Distance

Minimum distance of the plants from the tree (expressed in pixels on the vegetation mask). The distance is chosen randomly for every plant in the range [MinDistance, MaxDistance].
Max Distance

Maximum distance of the plants from the tree (expressed in pixels on the vegetation mask). The distance is chosen randomly for every plant in the range [MinDistance, MaxDistance].

It is not necessary to specify all 4 objects as different prefabs and it is not necessary to specify all objects

The Stones section allows the loading of 4 different types of stone that are randomly chosen when painting the vegetation.

Here you can set the parameters of the stones section of the vegetation asset:

Stone0

The first stone prefab you can set
Stone
1

The second stone prefab you can set
Stone
2

The third stone prefab you can set
Stone
3

The fourth stone prefab you can set
Min Number

Minimum number of stones that can be placed around a tree. It ranges starting from 0.
Max Number

Maximum number of stones that can be placed around a tree. It ranges starting from 0. It must be >= than Min Number.
Min Distance

Minimum distance of the stones from a plant (expressed in pixels on the vegetation mask). The distance is chosen randomly for every stone in the range [MinDistance, MaxDistance].
Max Distance

Maximum distance of the stones from a plant (expressed in pixels on the vegetation mask). The distance is chosen randomly for every stone in the range [MinDistance, MaxDistance].

It is not necessary to specify all 4 objects as different prefabs and it is not necessary to specify all objects
