    Hi, I'm trying to learn what the built in shaders are doing and I noticed this line in the terrain stuff:-
    #pragma ... exclude_path:prepass exclude_path:deferred
    I presume that means it's forced to render forward. It's quite an advantage to render a landscape as deferred because there is usually so much of it, and a lot is obscured. Is there going to be an update to the standard terrain stuff sometime soon?

    From what I know, the terrains are rendered in forward because in deferred is not possible to blend the normal splats. If you do not use more than 4 splats on your terrain can romove this directive
