ANNOUNCEMENT Unity have migrated some Unity Forum posts to the Discussions forum. Some links remain to work while others are broken or have been deleted.
Unfortunately, this is beyond our control and some content will have been lost forever. We will also endeavour to update links within the Landscape Builder editors.
In LB 2.5.1 we are adding some more Topography Image Modifiers. So far these include:
Bluff Knoll, Australia
Cradle Mountain, Australia
Chungara Lake, Chile
Mauna Loa, Hawaii, USA
Mt Longonot, Kenya
Mt Pinatubo, Philippines
If you have any areas of the world you’d like to see as Image Modifier layers, which can be scaled, rotated and moved around a landscape, please let us know here or on Discord.
