[Released] GIS Terrain Loader

Could you contact me via the discord channel.

 

Hi there,
Could you show me the terrain Metadata panel please.

 

Disregard the part about the terrain ContainerSize. It does have a size, in this case (72345, 1957.34, 74900).

But the problem remains, when I use:

var position = GeoRefConversion.SetRealWorldPosition(TerrainContainer, latLon, 0, SetElevationMode.OnTheGround);

With latLon = (35.78703,-105.54655), then I get back position = (0,0).

 

I think I figured out the problem. In the documentation the variable is called LatLon, suggesting the it should be (Latitude, Longitude). But I think those are reversed. I tried with (Longitude, Latitude) and that worked.

However it only works with SetElevationMode.RelativeToTheGround. if I try SetElevationMode.OnTheGround, then I get this error:

IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.

Hi!
Please tell me - how much I understand in view of this asset it can download real world locality in unity based on terrain files (including TIFF) and this terrain according to its coordinates (latitude and longitude) in the unity fully corresponds to the coordinates of the real world?
Question - can the coordinate, which are presented in the form of latitude and longitude, can be converted into SK-42 (Gauss-Kruger) that would also correspond to the real one?
And yes, I immediately ask for forgiveness if something wrote not very true or professionally)

 

Hi there,
You're alright, you can download a DEM as Tiff file via GIS Data Downloader asset and load that file as terrain in unity via GTL asset.
The generated terrain is georeferenced in the real world coordinates.
All DEM's created by GDD are projected in WGS 85 EPSG 4326, but you can convert all that coordinated to another epsg via dotspatial lib which is included in the asset.

Best regards

 

Hi there,
you Dvector2 must include lat and lon value where x=lon and y=lat.
About that error, did you generate that terrain in edit mode or at runtime?

 

In edit mode.

 

Please check the Get_Set_Position_EditMode Demo scene.
this issue come when the terrain was generated in edit mode and GTL can not find the right serialized heightmap.
EX: When you generate your terrain a new file will be created in GIS Tech\GIS Terrain Loader\Resources folder.
so in Start void you shoud to call tha function:
container.GetStoredHeightmap("File_Data_Example");
where the "File_Data_Example" is the name of serialized heightmap accorded to that terrain.
You can also contact me via the discord channel.
Best Regards

 

One thing I keep encountering is needing to get the real world position of points that fall outside of the area of the terrain container. Since the geo-referencing conversion was one of the main selling points for the asset for me, is there a chance of getting this changed to return accurate points outside of the bounds?

 

Hi there,
Sorry, you can not get a position of a point out side of your terrain because geo-referencing is working according to your terrain bounds.
there is a simple solution, you can create two terrain the first is very large for example (100x100km) with some invisible material. the second is your main terrain which is inside of your first terrain.
now, if your object is outside of your main terrain use the large terrain container else use your main terrain container.

Good Luck

 

Hi there,
Why are using usb region?
Best regards

 

thanks for replying
fortunately, solved the problem

 

Contact me through discord or email if you still have any issue.

 

If I do this, then how do I align both of the terrains?

 

This isn't working any more. It seems random when it works and when it doesn't now, but it's just not working for the current settings that I want. I can't use ASCI because the terrain that gets generated is way too big. And raw doesn't have any of the location data. I've tried downloading the DEMs from each source. I went back to previous ones that worked, and then tried again. I even tried bringing it into QGis to see if I could fix something in the file.

This solution seemed kind of hacky before anyway, is there some way to actually fix this bug?

Hi there,

Hope you are well, I am Chirag sindhu. I am developing a prototype for my personal game where I can generate terrain using a .tif file. And I recently came across your plugin.But I am not sure about it. I don't think it will work good for my project because I also want to add my own building and roads upon it like a popular city monument after generating the terrain. In future there will be more work on generating sequences of terrain like If we walk across the generated terrain the second terrain will generate accordly. So, Major Ideas I have in mind, But I am not sure if this plugin will be suitable for my project and my needs. So can you help me to use your asset for testing purposes for around a week. If it works for my needs, I will purchase this asset and may also work with your team for some issue.

Thank you!
