HexMesh – Hexagon Terrain

HexMesh allows a way to quickly and very easily create hexagon-tiled terrains. With the included customization options, it is possible to create many different kinds of hexagon landscapes. Here is an overview of some of the features it offers.

With a number of customizable variables, many type of terrain height can be created. Including a height curve that can be used to change the noise values to create terrain features like volcano's, rivers, deep valleys.

Included are two elevation modes to choose from: Smooth and Step mode. Smooth mode creates a gradual change of height. Whereas Step mode creates a terrace like terrain, which can be adjusted in several ways.

Allows to easily choose and change any color used in the terrain.

Divides the terrain into chunks to help with features such as lazy loading of the terrain and allows for more precise culling.

Included are several functions that can help convert between world position, grid coordinate positions, chunk and local chunk positions.

Included is a vertex color shader used to color the terrain which does not support textures or normal maps. This can be easily replaced by a shader that supports all, but is not included.

-Support for texture and normal maps.
-Chunk based generation in editor, to speed up generating large terrains.
-Generate landscape features like trees and houses.
