Terrain using holes causes seams

[Aki]

Subject explains it all. Terrain without holes doesn't cause seams, terrain with holes causes seams. The seam occurs at LOD borders (or chunk borders - I'm not sure!).

A workaround is not to use holes .

As said in the change log, using terrain holes is not compatible with holes.
Imagine that the hole size varies if the LOD of the chunk varies

if you want to make holes I suggest using an alpha map!


Good luck!

OOps yea I meant LOD of course sorry!

[Aki]

Thanks for the tips guys! Unfortunately I don't think alpha stuff will work in my case since I was using holes for optimization (don't need to render terrain vertices that are occluded by water, structures, etc). Oh well, it's only optimization!

But... If you just want to hide underwater chunks do what I do: Use TVLandscape.SetTerrainChunkEnable()

That way you can disable chunk by chunk, and when they are disabled, they are not being rendered.
