Exporting terrain splatMap

Questions & Answers
1

I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to export/(save to image file) The splatAlphas/splatMaps from the Terrain.Asset files. I do not need to import it back into unity, just need to get them into photoshop.

This question seem to have been asked on the forum a few times, but no answer as far as I can find. So just trying here as well.

Thanks in advance.

If you find no better way, and you don't need to do it often, you can take a screenshot of the RGB, then take a screenshot of the A, then combine them in Photoshop. Just make sure to enlarge the preview area enough so that you are at "100% zoom" before you take the screenshot.

It's a little late already, but take a look at this thread.

They mention this editor script: 

// 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); 
}

It works once you select the splat map of your terrain, which is a child of the terrain object in the project panel.

EasyRoads does export Splatmaps to PNG. You can backup and restore them.

I don't think there is any way to do this, unfortunately.

I use WorldCreator terrain plug-in and it can export splatmap and colorMap
