    I haven't done much work with terrains and only recently purchased the terrain composer 2 to try it out.

    I realize there are two dominant terrain shaders in the store, RTP and the newly released CTS. Are there other shaders worth looking at?

    Can anyone illuminate the strength of each? I understand it's harder to prepare the textures for RTP as compared to CTS but what is it actually. I have Uber and moving the image channels around isn't that hard with photoshop.

    And I understand RTP has a stronger feature set (of course since CTS is new). But what are the especially useful ones? And would they be easily implemented in CTS in the near future.

    Are there other shaders to look at.

    The objective of this thread is not to put down any of them, just to differentiate them.

    I'm hoping to not have to buy both although it's entirely possible another "biggest ever sale" might make me do just that ;)
