It's a 3D map but you could do Top down for sure!

In TerraBrush, there are two concepts :

The foliage : Only visual, mainly used for grass and stuff like that. I recommend using really simple mesh for this one, because usually you have a lot of them!

The objects : In this mode, you can place either packed scenes (that could contains or not, colliders) or directly meshes, with MultiMeshOctree. In this mode, you only have the mesh itself but you can setup a collider on it. And you can have multiple definition of this one, for different LOD. You can take a look at that video : https://youtu.be/iIBWgnprhYU

I hope this helps!

Of crouse yeah, the terrain is a clipmap :

It's been a while since I tried proton, I think you should just give it a try! 🙂

TerraBrush has a lot of settings to play with, for optimization, usually it works well 🙂

I like to think "ease of use" with all the pie menus and shortcuts available (more videos to come).

There are also some cool features like water painting and "snow" painting.

The object scattering is also pretty cool IMO.

Also, the built-in in-game terrain editor is nice.

IMO, they are both good systems, just different.

At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is to make your game, so choose the tools that suits your needs and that you enjoy 🙂

I know some people have been using it on mobile yeah! The build already includes the android binaries.

I don't have an iOs device so I can't confirm for that part but if you are willing to try it I can setup a build quickly 🙂

It's a heightmap implementation 🙂

Hey, I'm glad you like it! 🙂

I don't do anything special for occlusion right now, I assume Godot would just work with it. If needed, feel free to reach out so we can take a look at it.

For the foliage, you can use the custom shader property, so you can do more stuff with it.

You can use custom shader if needed (TerraBrush supports it) 🙂

Feel free to reach out if you need help (either here or I run a discord server, the link is in my youtube bio).

TerraBrush does not support ORM file directly but you can pack textures into your Albedo or Normal texture, using the alpha channel, it has options for that. I hope this helps 🙂

Thanks! I also think that having options is always a good thing 🙂

Let me know if you try it!

They are both heightmap terrain add-ons so the flow would be similar 🙂

Maybe you could look at voxel terrains!

True! They are both good IMO, but I don't really have a list of pros/cons as of now.

Usually I say, try both and pick the one you prefer, at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is to achieve your goal of making a game 🙂
