Unigine::Landscape Class

Header: #include <UnigineObjects.h>

This class is used to manage landscape terrain rendering and modification.

Terrain modification is performed in asynchronous mode on GPU side by calling a corresponding method, that commences a drawing operation. When calling such a method you should specify the GUID of an .lmap file landscape layer map to be modified, the coordinates of the upper-left corner and the resolution of the segment of data to be modified, you should also define which data layers are to be affected (heights, albedo, masks) via a set of flags. The operation itself is to be implemented inside a callback handler.

GPU-Based Terrain Modification#

The workflow is as follows:

  1. Implement your GPU-based terrain modification logic in a function.
  2. Set this callback function to be fired when a Texture Draw (GPU-based terrain modification) operation is performed by calling the addTextureDrawCallback() method.
  3. Commence a GPU drawing operation by calling the asyncTextureDraw() method. Here you should specify the GUID of an .lmap file landscape layer map to be modified, the coordinates of the upper-left corner and the resolution of the segment of data to be modified, you should also define which data layers are to be affected (heights, albedo, masks) via a set of flags
    Notice
    In case your modification requires additional data beyond the specified area as well as the data of other landscape layer maps (e.g. a copy brush) you can enable force loading of required data, in this case you should use this overload of the asyncTextureDraw() method.
Source code (C++)
// GPU-based modification
void my_texture_draw(UGUID guid, int id, LandscapeTexturesPtr buffer, ivec2 coord, int data_mask)
{
	// getting the desired brush material (built - in "cirle_soft" Editor's brush)
	// and inheriting a child material from it
	auto file_guid = FileSystem::getGUID(FileSystem::resolvePartialVirtualPath("circle_soft.brush"));
	if (!file_guid.isValid())
	{
		Log::warning("LandscapePainter::init(): can not find \"circle_soft.brush\" material\n");
		return;
	}

	MaterialPtr brush_material = Materials::findMaterialByFileGUID(file_guid)->inherit();

	// setting necessary textures (e.g., albedo and heights)
	brush_material->setTexture("terrain_albedo", buffer->getAlbedo());
	brush_material->setTexture("terrain_height", buffer->getHeight());

	// setting up brush material parameters (size, color, etc. and specifying masks to be affected by the brush)
	brush_material->setParameterFloat("size", 100.0f);
	brush_material->setParameterFloat("height", 10.0f);
	brush_material->setParameterFloat4("color", vec4_green);
	brush_material->setParameterInt("data_mask", data_mask);

	// running material's "brush" expression
	brush_material->runExpression("brush", buffer->getResolution().x, buffer->getResolution().y);

	// resetting material textures
	brush_material->setTexture("terrain_albedo", nullptr);
	brush_material->setTexture("terrain_height", nullptr);

}

// ... 

int AppWorldLogic::init()
{
	// getting an existing landscape terrain object
	ObjectLandscapeTerrainPtr terrain = Landscape::getActiveTerrain();

	// getting the first layermap that we're going to modify
	LandscapeLayerMapPtr lmap = checked_ptr_cast<LandscapeLayerMap> (terrain->getChild(0));

	// adding a callback to be fired on a Texture Draw operation
	Landscape::addTextureDrawCallback(MakeCallback(my_texture_draw));
	
	// generating a new ID for the draw operation
	int id = Landscape::generateOperationID();

	// user's code (bounding to ID)

	// commencing a Texture Draw operation for the selected landscape map at (1, 1) with the size of [32 x 32]
	Landscape::asyncTextureDraw(id, lmap->getGUID(), ivec2(1, 1), ivec2(32, 32), Landscape::FLAGS_DATA_HEIGHT | Landscape::FLAGS_DATA_ALBEDO);

	return 1;
}

// ...

 int AppWorldLogic::shutdown()
{
	// clearing callbacks
	Landscape::clearTextureDrawCallbacks();

	return 1;
}

And the process:

  1. After commencing of a terrain modification operation with all necessary parameters specified, the Engine copies a fragment of terrain data from the specified landscape layer map file at the specified coordinates to a buffer (LandscapeTextures) of the specified resolution.
  2. Upon completion of the copying process a callback function set via the addTextureDrawCallback() method is called. This function modifies the buffer.
  3. After this selected data layers of the modified buffer are pasted back to the landscape layer map file.

BLENDING_MODE#

Blending mode used for the layer map.
Name说明/描 述
ALPHA_BLEND = 0Alpha blending mode - the colors of the layer map and the underlying one are blended.
ADDITIVE = 1Additive blending mode - data of the layer map is added atop of the data of underlying maps.
OVERLAY = 2Overlay blending mode - data of the layer map replaces the data of underlying maps.
MULTIPLICATIVE = 3Multiplicative blending mode - albedo colors of the underlying map are multiplied by the colors of the layer map.

The operation itself is to be implemented in the TextureDrawCallback handler. This method can be used for implementing GPU-based terrain modification (e.g. brushes).

Arguments

  • const UGUID & guid - GUID of the landscape layer map file to be modified.
  • const Math::ivec2 & coord - Coordinates of the upper left corner of the landscape layer map data segment to be modified along the X and Y axes.
  • const Math::ivec2 & resolution - Resolution of the landscape layer map data segment to be modified along the X and Y axes.
  • int flags_file_data - Data layer mask. A combination of FLAGS_FILE_DATA_* flags indicating data layers to be affected (heights, albedo, certain masks).

bool isFilesClosed ( ) #

Returns a value indicating if .lmap files for all landscape layer maps are closed. Call this method before making any changes (modification, deletion, renaming) to .lmap files of the landscape terrain object to ensure that these files are not currently used by the Engine to avoid conflicts. If not, you can use the filesClose() method co close them.

Return value

true if .lmap files for all landscape layer maps are closed; otherwise, false.

void filesClose ( const Vector< UGUID > & reload_files ) #

Closes .lmap files for all landscape layer maps and reloads the ones with specified GUIDs. This method should be called before making any changes (modification, deletion, renaming) to .lmap files of the landscape terrain object to avoid conflicts, as these files are streamed continuosly by the Engine. Thus, by calling this method you inform the Engine that it should stop streaming terrain data. The list informs the Engine which files are no longer valid and should be reloaded or removed. As you're done with modification you should call the filesOpen() method to resume streaming operations.

Arguments

  • const Vector< UGUID > & reload_files - List of GUIDs of .lmap files to be reloaded. This list should contain .lmap files, that were deleted or having their data changed (albedo, heights, masks). If there are no such files, you can simply call the filesClose() method.

void filesClose ( ) #

Closes .lmap files for all landscape layer maps. This method should be called before making any changes (modification, deletion, renaming) to .lmap files of the landscape terrain object to avoid conflicts, as these files are streamed continuosly by the Engine. Thus, by calling this method you inform the Engine that it should stop streaming terrain data. As you're done with modification you should call the filesOpen() method to resume streaming operations.

void filesOpen ( ) #

Opens .lmap files for all landscape layer maps. This method should be called after making any changes (modification, deletion, renaming) to .lmap files of the landscape terrain object. Prior to making such modifications the filesClose() method should be called.

Ptr<ObjectLandscapeTerrain> getActiveTerrain ( ) #

Returns the current active Landscape Terrain object.
Notice
If a scene contains multiple Landscape Terrain objects, only one of them can be active (rendered).

Return value

Landscape Terrain object that is currently active.

void * addTextureDrawCallback ( Unigine::CallbackBase5< UGUID, int, Ptr<LandscapeTextures>, Math::ivec2, int > * func ) #
