Why does this happen with foliage and how do you fix it.

It's been happening since the very beginning, but seeing as we didn't start using unity's internal foliage system until recently, it never mattered. Now, it does matter, and I can't figure out what's causing it.

It's almost as if there is a maximum amount of foliage items the system is willing to show and when you go above that somehow, it starts hiding (not deleting) other ones. This isn't even a crazy amount of foliage so I'm just stumped and need to figure out how to fix it asap.

Thanks in advance.

Unity 4.6 Pro. All versions from April 2013 to current have the same result. All textures. All terrain settings. Nothing makes a difference.

 

Terrain has a setting "detail density".
Have you tried changing it? I have never seen that behavior...

 

I've tried changing that, as with all values, up and down many times with no visible affect. At any rate, this looks like something buggy.

 

Can you export a demoscene?

 

Since the game is over 7gb in size, that isn't possible. Even then, this is in-editor it has nothing to do with the game, it has to do with either how unity handles terrain, or it's own detail maps, or something like that.

 

Just export a new scene with a terrain and one or two grass types with the problem, that should not be more than 60mb. I never had those problems and I normally use 9 terrains at once any time.

Are you using a special terrain tool? Your tool thingy is a blue sphere, I never had that either.

 

Then I don't know what editor you're using, because those are the standard Unity tools.

 

I am using just the standard editor Tools and I only have a blue circle, not the transparent sphere you have in your video. Neither in my projects nor in a new one, Unity 4.6 and 5

 

If you're talking about the blue circle around the character, that's the sky-dome that contains the main camera. It doesn't have anything to do with anything other that projecting a sky in the background of the main camera.

 

That was it. Thanks for your help man!

 

Thanks! This solved my issue.

 

How do I change the terain density in unity
