Unigine.Landscape Class

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 a built-in "cirle_soft" Editor's brush
	MaterialPtr mat = Materials::findMaterial("circle_soft");

	if (mat) {
		// setting necessary textures (e.g., albedo and heights)
		mat->setTexture("terrain_albedo", buffer->getAlbedo());
		mat->setTexture("terrain_height", buffer->getHeight());
		
		// setting up brush material parameters (size, color, etc. and specifying masks to be affected by the brush)
		mat->setParameterFloat("size", 100.0f);
		mat->setParameterFloat("height", 10.0f);
		mat->setParameterFloat4("color", vec4::RED);
		mat->setParameterInt("data_mask", Landscape::FLAGS_DATA_ALBEDO | Landscape::FLAGS_DATA_HEIGHT);

		// running material's "brush" expression
		mat->runExpression("brush", buffer->getResolution().x, buffer->getResolution().y);
		
		// resetting material textures
		mat->setTexture("terrain_albedo", nullptr);
		mat->setTexture("terrain_height", nullptr);
	}
}

// ... 

virtual int AppWorldLogic::init()
{
	// adding a callback to be fired on a Texture Draw operation
	Landscape::addTextureDrawCallback(MakeCallback(my_texture_draw));
	
	// getting an existing landscape terrain object named "MyTerrain" from the world
	ObjectLandscapeTerrainPtr terrain = checked_ptr_cast<ObjectLandscapeTerrain>(World::getNodeByName("MyTerrain"));
	
	// getting the first layermap that we're going to modify
	LandscapeLayerMapPtr lmap = checked_ptr_cast<LandscapeLayerMap>(terrain->getChild(0));
	
	// 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), ~0);

	return 1;
}

// ...

virtual int 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.
