Guppy Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Try filling a large kanvas with the texture in Photoshop and then scale it down -you will see a similar effect depending on scaling used Quote System: Linux Mint 17 ( = Ubuntu 14.04 with cinnamon desktop ) Ubuntu 14.04, AMD HD 6850, i5 2500k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Shadmar is correct. The terrain shader uses a low-frequency lookup at far distances. This does a good job of reducing texture repetition, but it's a stylistic choice and not everyone prefers it. You can disable the effect with the shader modification he showed.

YouGroove Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 It looks so bad, it's my taste. Why not proposing a checkbox or two shaders at choice at terrain creation ? - Standard universal like all 3D engines that looks good - LE3 custom underground terrain shader I don't want to modify shaders each time LE3 makes a huge update or simply modify standard shaders.

Josh Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 More options means more things to break, and more confusion for the end user. I don't think the terrain shaders have been updated in six months, so you are pretty safe. It might become a per-layer option in the future. That would make sense, because some textures work a lot better than others with this effect.

beo6 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 i actually like the leadwerks way for your example texture better. In unity it looks like a single color from a distance. But it does depend on the type of texture if it works or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 In unity it looks like a single color from a distance. But it does depend on the type of texture if it works or not. Have you some screenshots of your game with that effect ? It looks like in the reality , on long distance it looks like a color with some noise and as you come near you will see the details. It looks too bad when textures have strong patterns as you see these giant patterns from long distance. At mid distance it's worst as you'll have the texture in detail , while you'll have the same texture upscaled on top of it , so it just looks bad. Anyway , that's great if some people enjoy this system, i'll just change the shader to a standard one. Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
