I’m trying to make a world to explore, but the terrain is giving me grief. I had one bit of terrain (5000 width x 5000 length). I made a nice little valley, and decided i wanted to expand and make a larger place with more areas to explore. I tried going to the menu: Terrain > Set Resolution…, and tried increasing to size (i think it was 10000x10000 but that doesn’t really matter). anyway, it increased the size of EVERYTHING instead of just giving me more blank terrain. Now to my question: How can I make a new terrain (of the same 5000x5000 size) and MOVE that terrain? (I know how to make the terrain, but can it be MOVED? if so how? if not, what can i do?) please help, thanks!
with Unity 2.1 you can add further terrain blocks.
You might try exporting your terrain height-map as a RAW file, opening it in Photoshop or Gimp, editing it there, then saving it as a new RAW and loading that into Unity. Be sure and back up the project first, in case the RAW doesn’t load right for whatever reason. I learned that lesson the hard way. RAW files are finicky and hard to work with, and you can easily end up with a terrain that’s random noise.
The good news is, you can probably re-make your nice little valley from scratch in a fraction of the time it would take to fiddle with the RAW files. If you need uber-precise controls, you may way to try Bryce or something.
Good luck!
