Custom normal map for Geo-Referenced Landscape?

[josh.trevisiol]

Hi again!

I'm continuing to work on an understanding of the Unigine LandscapeTool and find how we can best utilize new features for our projects.

I'd like to be able to source custom normal maps from WorldMachine for my geo-referenced landscape, however there doesn't seem to be an option for it within the tool.

I did notice, under Height(elevation) parameters, there is an adjustment tool for Normal Lods. Should I simply be using a higher density elevation source to get the normals I want, or is there another way to go about adding custom normals?

Thank you!

Hello Josh, 

Landscape creates normal LODs automatically based on the height data you're imported.

Yes, that what you should do. Add higher detailed heightmap and you'll get a suitable data for normals. In some cases, you can delete height LODs that exceed desired density and keep normal LODs that were created for them.

Thanks!
