atMergeMap?

How does it merge the areas? What would happen if you tried to merge a desert map and a lush mountainous map along a border region of the two maps?

Hi nicethugbert,

atMergeMap copies one heightfield into another, with user-specified alignment. It does not smooth seams or do any other processing. Nor does it merge attributes/texture/etc maps. In the future it may do these things, but at present there are higher priorities.

What would happen if you tried to merge a desert map and a lush mountainous map along a border region of the two maps?


My guess would be that you would have a very noticeable seam (i.e. vertical cliff), which you would need to smooth out in Sapphire.

Best regards,
Aaron.
