Key Features

• A node/graph editor for easy-- programming-free generation.
• Level of detail system that changes the resolution of generated heightmaps based on a Tile's distance from the camera.
• A biome system that determines biomes through moisture, temperature, and height maps.
• Node graphs that are stored in Unity asset files for sharing across different installations.
• Fully customizeable generation pipeline API.
• A material editor that stamps textures based on height and angle.
• A procedural object placement system.
• An event system that reports different stages of execution allowing for easy insertion of custom code.
• A chunk-based infinite terrain system that caches previously visited chunks.
• Compatibility with procedural material shaders (such as MegaSplat).
• In-editor terrain previewing.
• Multithreaded generation.
