# Terrain Layers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The **Terrain Layers** section contains a few tools to help manage Terrain Layers on Terrain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Terrain Palette
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A **Terrain Palette** is a preset asset file that stores a collection of Terrain Layers. This preset file is similar to other Toolbox presets, which you can save or share.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Material Layer Palette
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The **Material Layer Palette** is a reorderable list that contains imported layers. Use the **Import From Terrain** button to import layers from a selected Terrain. Use the Add (**+**) and Remove (**-**) buttons on the bottom right to add or remove a layer. Alternatively, drag a layer row, and move it up or down to change its position in the list.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When using the High Definition Render Pipeline, you cannot use more than eight layers. When using the Universal Render Pipeline or the built-in Terrain system, there's no limit to the number of layers, but increasing the number of splatmaps uses more memory, which might impact performance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The list order affects which channel and splatmap a layer uses. For example, the image below shows the respective splatmap and channel each layer uses when you assign them to a Terrain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Position | Splatmap | Channel |
|
||
|
|
| ---------- | ----------- | ------- |
|
||
|
|
| Position 1 | SplatAlpha0 | Red |
|
||
|
|
| Position 2 | SplatAlpha0 | Green |
|
||
|
|
| Position 3 | SplatAlpha0 | Blue |
|
||
|
|
| Position 4 | SplatAlpha0 | Alpha |
|
||
|
|
| Position 5 | SplatAlpha1 | Red |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
