Shiny terrain

Hello,
I tried creating a terrain using Unity’s terrain system but it looks way too shiny. (gold spots)

This is my terrain material:

But the URP shader “Terrain/Lit” doesn’t allow any changes:

When using one of the “Nature/Terrain” shader it looks like this:

6955535--818657--upload_2021-3-20_17-11-5.png

Converting this material to a URP material doesn’t help.

When using URP’s “Lit” shader it looks like this:
6955535--818660--upload_2021-3-20_17-14-19.png

But I won’t be able to paint terrain textures on it and Unity sends me a warning:
“Can’t use materials with shaders which need tangent geometry on terrain, use shaders in Nature/Terrain instead.”
Help?

You only can use default shader … (URP/Terrain/Lit) or your custom URP shader

The shiny part may be due to grass
Maybe because of the post-effect
Maybe it’s a bug

okay thank you, so what would you do? Btw, congrats to your 3000th post :slight_smile:

Thank you (now 3001th post:))

  1. Unselect the the terrain first . Maybe because of the highlight bar in the selection mode around the terrain geometry

  2. De activate the detail on the terrain detail settings

  3. Disable post effect (specially bloom)

If it was not solved, maybe it was a bug (maybe)

my problem caused diffrent setting: lighning>environment>reflections>instensity multiplier… i set this thing to 0 and my shiny terrain was normal again…

General > Lighting > Environment > Intensity Multiplier (reduce this) this is solution for me

(Unity 2022.1.14f1) I changed the Environment Reflection settings, lowering it’s intensity multiplier by a lot.

(Unity 2022.3.8f1) I tried the previous mentioned methods but they didn’t work. I am using Android and URP, not sure if this matters. I fixed this by selecting the Terrain Layer in the Project Tab. Then Inspector > Channel Remapping and changing Alpha Max from 0 to 1.

for me i had to goto the terrain material if you dont have one jus create new one… then changed to nature/terrain/diffuse
