Export Terrain as OBJ with textures / Splatmap?

[anon49000424]

Hi All!

I’m a big n00b at texturing objects. I’d like to export my unity terrain to 3ds max, so I can tweak it…

I’m using the TerrainObjExporter script for exporting the mesh.
I’m using the following script to export a splatmap:

// For saving splat map as PNG file. 
import System.IO; 

@MenuItem("Assets/Export Texture") 
static function Apply () { 
var texture : Texture2D = Selection.activeObject as Texture2D; 
if (texture == null) 
{ 
EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("Select Texture", "You Must Select a Texture first!", "Ok"); 
return; 
} 
var bytes = texture.EncodeToPNG(); 
File.WriteAllBytes(Application.dataPath + "/exported_texture.png", bytes); 
} 

So the splatmap is a representation of how the different textures are applied to the model right? So the last step for me is to import the splatmap into 3ds, add the correspongding textures, and apply it to the mesh? Would that do the trick?

Or is it perhaps easier using some other software, like Cinema 4D perhaps? Anybody got any experience on doing this? Thanks!

This is a question about 3DS and other tools. Not Unity.

Seems to me you’d be better off using an external terrain editor like World Machine 2 or Bryce or Terragen, than somehow expecting to be able to edit a Terrain via an OBJ, which will not import back as a terrain.
