Unigine::ObjectTerrainGlobal Class
| Header: | #include <UnigineObjects.h> |
| Inherits from: | Object |
This class is used to create a global terrain object representing a certain fragment of Earth's surface on the basis of available GIS data (elevation and imagery). The global terrain is rendered using pre-generated tilesets which represent LODs for different data layers (heights, albedo, normals, and masks). Tilesets are managed via the TileSet class. Tileset data is stored in tileset files on the disk, these files are managed via the TileSetFile class

Adds a new detail to the vector of terrain details.Arguments
- const char * name - Detail name.
Return value
Number of the new detail.int cloneDetail ( int num ) #
Clones the detail with the specified number.Arguments

void resizeDetails ( int size ) #
Resizes the vector of terrain details.Arguments
- int size - New size.
int getNumDetails ( ) const#
Returns the total number of details.Return value
Number of details.void setForceIntersection ( bool intersection ) #
Enables or disables forced loading of necessary terrain tiles to ensure correct intersection detection.
Notice
- When enabled, this option may significantly reduce performance. Thus, it is recommended to enable it, perform intersection check, and disable it again.
- It is recommended to make two or more intersection requests to make sure you get the required result when necessary, as in some rare cases forced loading of tiles may not give you a 100% guarantee.
Arguments
- bool intersection - true to load necessary terrain tiles for intersection detection; otherwise, false. The default value is false.
bool isForceIntersection ( ) const#
Returns a value indicating if forced loading of terrain tiles for intersection detection is enabled.Notice
This option is used to enable force loading of terrain tiles to ensure correct intersection detection.
Return value
false if forced loading of terrain tiles for intersection detection is enabled; otherwise, false.int addMask ( const char * name ) #
