Will Terrains be available on Android and iOS?

Any idea if/when this will appear on android and ios?
Are there any alternative implementations for terrains that work on android and ios?

 

Perhaps by Q4 2012 when enough of the current generation devices are gone as no iOS device could handle it and only the new dualcore Android in a range to pull it off, and thats without considering the foliage, that will likely still remain out of range

 

so how do you create terrain in android/tegra2 devices if you can't use unity terrain?

 

Static mesh right out of the modeller (thats the common path as it allows non-uniform distribution of details to optimize the mesh to its edge) or writting an own system basing on the ROAM or GeoMipmapping algorithm

 

Unity Terrain is probably not very optimized. You'd be best to model the level in Maya, etc. and then you can pay specific detail to how many triangles you've got, where they're visible, etc.

 

If you really want to use Unity Terrain, there is a terrain->obj exporter and then you can import the obj terrain and it's usable.

 

Exactly.. OBJ exporter...
