Gaea finally dropped the long-awaited Tiled Build update. Essentially that means very large heightfield resolutions without insane amounts of RAM. I've been happy with the results so far, the attached image is 8 4K tiles, half of a 16K map, and the result is a lot better resolution for such a large area than I've been able to get previously. Only two nodes in Gaea for the geometry as well, which is great.
Two holdups I have so far:
A) Putting the tiles together manually takes forever. As far as I can tell, the tiles don't have position metadata, and I haven't been able to think of a way to position them automatically. Any ideas?
B) I've been turning off border blending on the tiles to get them to attach seamlessly. However, that leaves a hard edge around the outside of the terrain, making it difficult to integrate with anything else. I'm not sure if there's a better way.
