Using a Gameobject for terrain.

Question

Hello, i'm making a game involving floating islands. i'm making them in blender and since they are very large and i cant use unity's terrain tools i dont know how to go about the texturing, should i make a very large image?, should i divide the mesh and paint it separetedly?

if anyone has any idea on how to go about it i'll be very thankful. here is a image of the island if that may help: alt text

Thanks in advance.

Use a tiling texture (lots of awesome free ones can be found at textures.com). For more detail (maybe some parts are rocky others are grassy) find or make a shader that uses your seamless rock texture and grass texture then composites them together with a low res texture (the blending of the two textures doesn't need to be high res). Here is how it would be setup in Blender -- sorry I don't have time to make you a Unity shader for this.

Let me know if this helps ;)

A tutorial for shader coding?

http://docs.unity3d.com/$$anonymous$$anual/SL-SurfaceShaders.html

Start here and read through the surface shader parts (since you will probably want to have lighting on your terrain). Also I think there is a section on the forums for shader coding help.

I found this on the store that looks like it may be just what you need...
