This helps the effect become more apparent. In any case, I like to mess with the contrast of the maps, especially flow maps, before using in the engine. The other way is to export the masks separately and combine them with merge channels in PS: Each mask is stored in the RGB channels and the alpha. On to the technique, you can run 4 maps(wear/flow/etc.) from WM into one bitmap node and it will combine it for you. I also think the imported layer maps are not a material, they are only used by the editor to get information where to modify the layer map. The drawback is your material is going to be heavier. So you could use low resolution Landscape and a higher res splat. This doc page has some information on that but it really doesn’t tell you how to import layers after you’ve created landscapes for some reason.ī) The only advantage I know of to this method is that the masks are not Landscape resolution dependent.

Now in your Layers window, you can right click on the layer info for your Landscape Materials and select import. To find out what your res is, go into Landscape/Manage Terrain/Change Component Size. Rescale them to the size of your terrain, it will probably be off by only a few pixels. There are few ways you can free up some textures and a number of ways to setup your splat maps, here are two methods with pros/cons.Ī) Take your splatmaps from WM, save them as seperate greyscale images. I’m already reaching my limits of 16 textures with the normal and diffuse maps I’m adding. I’m trying to create a similar terrain through WM and I was wondering if you might have any examples of putting the maps into one image.
