    Using Terrain Stitcher you can blend selected in hierarchy window terrains, or every terrain that exist in your current scene, simply in one click. Pack also contains free open source matrix operations and algorithms library.

    Terrain scaler - it's a script that will give you ability to rescale your terrain height without losing height data.

    The pack contains:
    - Terrain Stitch system
    - Terrain Scaler
    - Smooth terrain LOD's on borders script
    - Free Open source matrix operation library
    - Tutorial script

    Hi -
    I just need to close gaps in the seams between 4 terrains.

    I believe this tool will do this.

    But will my terrains remain as 4 objects or will this tool merge into one?

    I would like to keep as 4 separate terrains.

    Thanks

    G.

    Terrain stitcher will close your holes between terrains. It will keep your terrains in parts. We only changing heightmaps at your terrain objects.

    Yes but every terrain at the scene should have the same values.

    Can I ask, is this basically for doing the same as your other asset "Multiple Terrain Brush" or that is just more advanced?

    :)

    Hmmm ok so:
    With multiterrain brush you could paint splat, height map, blend borders, and work at all terrains like at one.
    Terrain Stitcher is advanced tool only to repair, stitch borders (heightmap). In Stitcher you have few functions, that could repair, stitch in different ways. Also you could stitch all borders after one button click or only few that are selected. For initial or short work stitcher is very usefull, it finish borders in all or selected terrains and with multiterrain brush you could work on terrains like on one terrain. Multiterrain brush have only brushes so it will take a while, until you will blend all borders manualy by brush.

    So Terrain Stitcher and Multiterrain Brush are quite different tools.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your asset, works great except this little issue.

    When i use Terrain Sticher the first time it works well (image 1 before and image 2 after stitching), but then when i started my game in Unity and stopped it i saw this gap between my two terrains (see image 3):



    Any idea where it come from?

    Hi.
    This is not a bug. You have many terrains and each terrain have own LOD system. We made a script to fix that. It called "terrain neighbours". Simply add it to the scene to any object, Don't destroy it during gameplay.

    hi,
    First of all, excellent tool, and i have a question.
    Does or can the terrain neighbours script load and unload(culling) dinamically the tiles (terrains) as the player(camara) walks or run so the project runs smoothly?if not, any idea or help how to do it with the script you provide?thank you very much

    Hi
    If you want to load/unload terrains, models , particles and everything that you can save at the scene, even lightmaps you could use our World Streamer. https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/36486

    Thank you very much ! Works well now !
    Thanks for your asset !
    We had a script that setted the neighbors too but seems like the flush in your script solved the problem !

    Hi there,

    Will this work with multiple terrains that has it's own splatmaps/textures/materials and different sizes?

    Cheers

    Yes, but terrains must be the same size. I will check that.

    Does terrains have the same size? resolution?

    Hey,

    is there a way to use this asset to modify the terrain only temporarily?

    I have a scene that consists of 24 tiles, which are randomly rearranged at playing the scene. When I run the stitching from the editor upon running the scene, the changes are still there when I end Play Mode.

    I would want the modified terrain to reset to its previous state.

    Best regards

    I just bought Terrain Stitcher and ran it on my rather large World Composer Terrain. I have mis-aligned Terrain tiles that seem to have cropped up for no reason. See the included screen shot. The holes are above the pland and to the right in a rectangle on the Terrain plan.

    It seemed to close terrains when I ran it, but when I look closely with an FPS CAM, they come back. Any ideas?

    I tried both the "Stitch all terrains" and "Stitch selected Terrains"

    Thanks, I gotta fix this,

    Jay

    Hi!
    Simply add this script to any empty game object at the scene. Only once and it will recognize terrains and blend it's lods.

    Yes

    All I did was duplicate a terrain several times in the prefab so they can be individually modified. Its the same terrain duplicated. But, I can modify them individually.

    You didnt show me terrain settings but if this is a coppy this should be ok anyway. Could you coppy this terrains to empty scene and then stitch them there? Maybe there is something at the scene what could block our script.


    AH also look at transform, terrain do not touch... Look at X: -320.5804 and -1320.58 I dont know how at Z but system could see there is no connection between terrains. Your terrain size is probably 1000 so this 04 means that they do not touch eachother.

    I exported the terrain and started a blank project as displayed in the following screenshot. You can see the terrain settings and the duplicate terrain I made. Also, just DMed you the terrain.

    We reproduced issue. We will fix that asap. I'ts strange....

    EDIT:
    Here is the answer: when you stitch, stitching distance is bigger then 1 terrain heightmap size. Your heightmap size is only 33 and basic stitch distance is 100, you have to setup smaller value your own. Set for example avarage lenght to 1-2 or trend lenght to 1-2. It will work. We will add info for such situations.

    I tried Terrain Stitcher on 2 terrains I had in a test scene. When I tried to stitch them I got a 2-dimensional "wall" sticking up into the scene.

    Screen Shot 2017-03-17 at 9.19.19 PM.png

    I am new to the tool so may be doing something silly. I tried "stitch all terrains" since there were only 2 of them. They overlap slightly at the border as you can see -- is this wrong?

    Yeah but it could lag a bit. Depends from amount of changes etc

    Only unity terrain

    Sorry for long respond I have huge amount of threads and unity sometimes do not show me info about new message.

    Do you blend heightmap and splatmap or you do differently ?

    It’s for use with CTS ;)

    Hi, can you provide some reference on calling the terrain stitcher at runtime from the code?

    Example: I would like to call.. TerrainStitch.TerrainStitchEditor.StitchTerrain() from elsewhere in the code. However I cannot call TerrainStitch.TerrainStitchEditor

    A code snippet would be much appreciated!

    It should work terrain architecture doesn't change at all. You test it on clear project without any errors in console? (compile errors could block editor scripts)
