Hi everyone,

I've been using Gaia Pro 2021 for a while now and it's been a great help the included flora system is also something I really like however all of a sudden (the last 3 days or so) I've started getting terrible lag in my project, after turning on the profiler it seems that it's coming from DetailObject.LateUpdate which seems to be a script related to the Flora system. I haven't changed anything in the flora settings in the last few months so no idea how this happened. Maybe I accidently clicked something I shouldn't have?

Hopefully someone here knows how to fix this 🙂

Hi @Salogeo,

This does seem quite odd. From the functions this screenshot shows, it seems the issue is ocurring roughly every frame. 

As a first test, can you try disabling the Flora Terrain Tile component. My assumption is the without drawing it should be fine:

If that runs smoothly, re-enable it and hit play again. Whilst in playmode, navigate to the flora detail objects that get assigned underneath the terrain gameobject, and try disabling each of them one by one.

Let me know if when disabling one detail object in particular it caused a boost in performance - there may be a setting within it that makes the rest of the system lag.

Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it! For now it seems to have been fixed by simply disabling it and enabling it again. I've had it happen before though so if it happens again I'll try the steps you suggested and report my findings (but here's to hoping it won't happen again).

      Scene Optimizer layers are being mixed together.

      I'm using version 1.0.8 and I press the optimized scene button I see the layers being mixed together, when they should not be. So when I look at a optimized medium section the fence is medium, but the rocks are large. Using the recommended settings provided in the GRL Fantasy Kingdom 02 pdf the results are broken as shown in the image, however the default settings do not have this issue.

      This is something new I'm adding. Notice how when you add roads it spawns cubes around the road? Later these will be buildings. The video isn't up close to the road. It's kinda zoomed out. So if you're viewing this on a phone it's not really going to be very viewable. The different colors of cubes are White, Red, Green. They represent different kinds of buildings you might see. For example green could be a house. Red could be a commercial building. White could be something else. They can be whatever you want them to be. And if you think they are too far apart or too close/far from the road it's easily adjustable. Although that's not shown here. It's a bit hard to see the white cubes because I had HDR on and it made things a bit bright. Either way white on white wasn't a good idea.

      World Creator + Gaia

      @oskarkogut Please excuse the delayed response! You would need to cut up the world creator terrain into tiles somehow - if it is unity terrain, and you have SECTR, you could use the terrain splitting feature in SECTRs terrain window for that, or the Terrain Toolbox package from unity has a tool for splitting as well: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.terrain-tools@4.0/manual/toolbox-terrain-edit.html. When you got it all split up, you would need to create a Gaia Terrain Loading setup with the same dimensions as your splits (e.g. if you have 4x4 splits at a sidelength of 512, you would need to create such a world from the Gaia Manager as well) and then throw out the terrains made by Gaia and put in your own terrains instead. It might work as well to split up the terrains and open the Gaia Manager, and then act as if you would like to change the terrain setup to a terrain loading one. It is possible to open the Gaia Manager, and change from a terrain loading to a non-loading setup. I have not tested this yet with terrains made outside of Gaia though, so tread with care and backup your project before trying with production data.

      Gena decorator??

      Hi @Kim Williams could you please describe what you want the spawner to do? E.g. is it supposed to spawn a random Gaia house? We could then provide an example setup for that. Alternatively you could also try to send us the object with the decorators on as a prefab that you export into an .unitypackage, we could then have a look.

      Objects spawning at unexpected position in segmented scene.

      @Ahmed Swaroar Would it work for you to make the Game Object a child of the terrain and place it at the desired position? Then Gaia should load in the terrain scene, put the terrain in the right spot and your object should keep the correct offset from the terrain.
