Terrain3D
Terrain3D is a high-performance toolkit for creating, sculpting, and painting editable 3D landscapes within the Godot game engine. It provides a set of tools for generating landmasses and converting external geography data into optimized 3D terrain meshes.
The system features a foliage manager that places vegetation across landscapes using levels of detail and shadow impostors to maintain performance. It also includes a sculpting tool that supports the creation of landmasses with holes and multi-layered texture painting.
The project covers a broad capability surface including heightmap import, real-time vertex sculpting, and surface painting using splat-map texture blending and layered material mapping. It further implements distance-based level-of-detail switching to manage rendering loads for large-scale environments.
