Step 10: Find a rocky base texture and make it seamless. Figure 6.17
shows Cliffs0168_1_S from CGTextures ( http://cgtextures.com/texview
.php?id=55487 ) as the Terrain Texture applied to the terrain created in
earlier steps. Other textures could certainly work as well. Use the seamless
texture techniques used in the previous chapter.
Why?
The terrain created so far includes a sort of UV map and the textures
we are going to apply will be tiled. Since they are tiled, they need to be
seamless.
Step 11: Add this new seamless texture to your available assets. In the
Unity Project Panel, click the Create drop-down menu and choose Folder.
Rename the folder Terrain Textures . In Photoshop save the seamless
texture to this Terrain Textures folder (or simply drag it to this folder in the
OS if the texture has already been saved somewhere).
Why?
The project is beginning to have a larger collection of assets. A few
effective folders keep your workspace clean and the assets easy
to find.
Step 12: In the Hierarchy panel, select Terrain. In the Inspector, click
the Paint Texture tool. Click the Edit Textures… button and choose Add
Texture… from the drop-down menu.
Step 13: In the Add Terrain Texture window that will pop up click
the target icon. The Select Texture2D window will appear. From this
window find the seamless texture you just made and double-click it.
The window will close and the texture will be added next to Splat in
the Add Terrain Texture window. Click the Add button ( Figure 6.16 ),
which will close the window and add the texture to the terrain
( Figure 6.17 ).
