Unigine::LandscapeLayerMap Class
| Header: | #include <UnigineObjects.h> |
| Inherits from: | Node |
This class is used to manage landscape layer maps of the Landscape Terrain object. Landscape layer map data (height, albedo, masks, settings) is stored in a .lmap file (see the LandscapeMapFileCreator and LandscapeMapFileSettings classes). A landscape map has a single resolution and density, and cannot have insets. Insets are created by adding a high-resolution landscape layer map above the low-resolution one.
Several maps can be blended with each other. Blending parameters for the landscape layer map are controlled via the corresponding methods of the LandscapeMapFilesettings class.
Maximum and Minimum Terrain Height#
This example demonstrates how to obtain minimum and maximum height values for the whole Landscape Terrain (all layer maps) along with the enclosing bounding box. For this puprose we should find all LandscapeLayerMap objects in the World, extend a bounding box to enclose all of them, and use the getExtremumHeight() method to get minimum and maximum height values.

if (ext.x < min)
min = ext.x;
if (ext.y > max)
max = ext.y;

Sets a value indicating if heights data of the layer map is to be used for culling precalculation. In order to define which parts of the terrain are to be rendered a culling test is required. This test is performed on the basis of a precalculated low-detail height map, combining heights data of all landscape layer maps having a significant impact on the result. Precalculation is performed on the CPU side, so processing a large number of landscape layer maps may reduce performance. Moreover, some layer maps may be used as decals (i.e. their impact on the resulting height map is insignificant). For such cases you can simply disable this option to avoid unnecessary calculations.Notice
