There is an exciting new add-on for the Godot game engine for creating 3D terrain in a pixel art graphics style – Yūgen’s Terrain Authoring Toolkit. The project is open-source under the liberal MIT license and makes creating low resolution terrain incredibly simple.
Highlight features of Yugens Terrain Authoring Toolkit include:
- Elevate and lower terrain based on cells in a chunk grid
- Level terrain to a user-set height
- Smooth terrain depending on the average height of neighbouring cells
- Create a bridge between two points by drawing a line between them
- Paint up to 15(+1) custom textures onto the terrain
- Paint a mask map that determines whether selected cells should draw
MultiMeshInstance3dgrass instances - Get debug information for selected cells
- Change the internal marching squares algorithm vertex merge threshold value resulting in smoother or blockier terrain
- Change global terrain settings like wall texture, wall color, grass animation fps and more…
