    The "opacity as density" is set active on some of my texture layers, I have 4 texture layers currently and whenever I add a 5th texture layer the "opacity as density" stops working on all of the texture layers its enabled at?

    I'm currently using Urp 10 2020.3.18 LTS

    Hi. "Opacity as Density" will only work if you have 4 or less Terrain Layer assigned to your Terrain. Once you have more than that, it defaults to just blending solely based on the texture weights iirc.

    Hi,
    I need to set that "Opacity as density" property through C#, and I can't find the corresponding field or method in the TerrainData.terrainLayers field, nor in the TerrainLayer itself.
    Any ideas?

    Hello. If I remember correctly, you have to disable height-blending somewhere. Maybe on the HDRP/URP Terrain Material. Then you need to make sure there's a Mask Map assigned to the Terrain Layers. Then the `Density as Opacity` option should be there on the Terrain Layer.

    It might not be a property in C# on TerrainLayer but might be a Material Property that you can set if you have the right material instance

    Ok, looks like it's the .w component of TerrainLayer.diffuseRemapMin. So if TerrainLayer.diffuseRemapMin.w is 1 then Opacity as Density is enabled, and then disabled if it's 0.
