Foliage Types

Each foliage actor contains a list of types that it uses. This helps editing many instances at the same time and share data for them to improve overall performance. Use Foliage tab to add/remove/modify foliage types contained in the selected foliage actor.

Properties

Property	Description
Model	Model to draw by all the foliage instances of this type. It must be unique within the foliage actor and cannot be null.
Materials	Model materials override collection. Can be used to change a specific material of the mesh to the custom one without editing the asset.
Cull Distance	The per-instance cull distance.
Cull Distance Random Range	The per-instance cull distance randomization range (randomized per instance and added to master CullDistance value).
Shadows Mode	The shadows casting mode.
Receive Decals	Determines whenever this meshes can receive decals.
Scale In Lightmap	The scale in lightmap (for instances of this foliage type). Can be used to adjust static lighting quality for the foliage instances.
Use Density Scaling	Flag used to determinate whenever use global foliage density scaling for instances of this foliage type.
Density Scaling Scale	The density scaling scale applied to the global scale for the foliage instances of this type. Can be used to boost or reduce density scaling effect on this foliage type.
Density	The foliage instances density defined in instances count per 1000x1000 units area.
Radius	The minimum radius between foliage instances.
Paint Ground Slope Angle Range	The minimum and maximum ground slope angle to paint foliage on it (in degrees).
Scaling	The scaling mode.
Scale Min	The scale minimum values per axis.
Scale Max	The scale maximum values per axis.
Offset Y	The per-instance random offset range on axis Y (min-max).
Random Pitch Angle	The random pitch angle range (uniform in both ways around normal vector).
Random Roll Angle	The random roll angle range (uniform in both ways around normal vector).
Align To Normal	If checked, instances will be aligned to normal of the placed surface.
Random Yaw	If checked, instances will use randomized yaw when placed. Random yaw uses will rotation range over the Y axis.
