¶ Ground Type
This setting controls what type of Ground the Hype will have. There are 3 options for Ground Type:
¶ Infinite Plane
The Infinite Plane is flat and stretches on endlessly in all directions.
¶ Empty
The Empty Canvas will have no ground. Objects with dynamic physics will fall endlessly unless they are stopped through other means.
¶ Heightmap
The Heightmap Canvas creates hills based on a noise map. The Heightmap Canvas is not endless, it will have outside edges beyond which there is no ground.
When selecting Heightmap an additional option will appear to Edit Heightmap.
The heightmap will be based on on a black and white noise map that determines the distribution of height in the terrain. These options allow you to adjust the noise map as well as how the heightmap will translate it into terrain.
¶ Size
These parameters allows you to adjust the size of your heightmap and the height of the hills.
¶ Scale
These parameters will allow you to scale the noise map which will adjust the width and length of the hills in the Hype.
¶ Noise
These parameters let you further adjust the noise map to adjust the distribution of hills in the heightmap.
¶ Materials
Select a Visual Material and Physical Material for the Ground.
