Gaia pro integration

[ReptilesD]

Hello,

2 questions with GTS

1 - is this compatible with multi terrain streaming in Gaia pro, ie it’ll work without causing a noticeable fame drop/cpu spike when the terrains load in?

2 - what’s the maximum recommended  amount of textures to use? Some alternative solutions say 16 but in a streaming setup more would be nice.

thanks

Hi @ReptilesD,

1 - GTS works with Gaia's multi terrain streaming as long as the GTS Profile is applied to each terrain loaded. What this means is as long as a GTS material is applied to the terrain to stream in, it should work. 

2 - GTS currently only supports up to 8 unique terrain layers across the whole scene. A terrain is comprised of 3 textures (Diffuse, Normal, Mask map).

Thanks for response. To confirm, I can only use 8 different textures/materials on the terrain? Or have I misunderstood that.

Thats correct 8 textures

Just as an additional clarifcation, here is a picture to show what we are referring to:
