If you are not familiar with MicroVerse, it is a fully Non Destructible, Real Time environment creation system for Unity. Everything is updated live without delays, using a stamp based approach. Quickly create, texture, and populate the scene with textured mountains, forests, grasslands, and paths cutting through them. It's written from the ground up to work with multiple terrain tiles, and intrinsically biome capable through it's area falloff system, and everything is always non-destructive with realtime updates.

In MicroVerse, everything is a stamp, which can modify terrain heights, procedurally texture the terrain, add trees, grass or prefabs to an area, or add music and sound to a scene. Areas can be define via shapes, textures, splines, or by painting right in the scene, allowing you to easily define the area and it's effect on the result.

Best of all every operation is realtime and non-destructive, allowing you to change anything at any time without hassle. You can even use the Copy/Paste stamp capture areas of existing terrain and move it around in a non-destructive manner, or use the "Create from existing scene" workflow to capture your existing terrain into stamps and work non-destructively on with it.

And since MicroVerse reconstructs the scene from the begining on every edit, you can change the terrain resolution of the terrain and it will simply reconstruct it with the new settings. And you can make prefabs of any collection of stamps to apply them to new areas easily, or add them to the Content Browser for quick access.

With the MicroVerse Content Browser, you can create fully textured and populated biomes with a single drag and drop. Presets for the content browser are currently available for the following assets:

- Add warning to spline editor when layers are assigned but not used

MicroVerse 1.7.19

- NEW: Paint Falloff Areas. These can be placed/sized in an area of the world and effect multiple stamps at once. Can be combined with the regular falloff areas of the stamps.

- NEW: Smoothing brush added to falloff painting system

- NEW: Content browser will stay in painting mode when using spline tools and holding shift

MicroVerse 1.7.17

- NEW: Noise previews in world and UI reworked to show values below 0 as blue, and values above 1 as red. A gamma slider will also let you adjust the shown range of the noise, which makes working with higher amplitudes more understandable

- NEW: Road intersection pieces can now be scaled. Connected splines willl scale with them, which is useful if you want larger roads or paths, or want to adjust the size of caves.

- NEW: Dialog for creating content colllections from the browser donated by Roland.

- NEW: Better icons for the content browser

- NEW: Higher quality normal geneeration used for texture filtering

- NEW: Added min/max option to stacked noise modifiers

- NEW/Fix: Tree Stamp Density and all noise functions are now sized independently of terrain size. Previously, a tree density of 4 would produce the same amount of tree's on a 1k terrain as a 2k terrain, meaning the density on the 2k sized terrain was 1/4th of the density on the 1k terrain. This produced inconsistent results when dragging presets from the content browser. This has now been fixed and all data is automatically revisioned.

- Fix: Unity backported their breakage of the HDRP pipeline to Unity 2021LTS, so the same fix was applied as to 2022 and shaders regenerated.

- Fix: Crash/syncing error with terrain holes

MicroVerse 1.7.14

- NEW : Painting of spline paths, spline constrained content, and spline area content directly from the content browser. Select the new Spline Area tool, for instance, select a biome in the browser, and paint down a spline area and it will spawn the content, setup the spline area, and set all the stamps in the content to be constrained to the spline area.

- NEW: Height stamp remapping curve

- NEW: Road module now has tunnel examples and a cave example

- Fix: Road objects with local rotation wouldn't calculate correct normals

- Fix: HDRP in 2022 issue with decal code

MicroVerse 1.7.10

- NEW: Flow mapping added to filtering types. Now in addition to common filters like height, slope, angle and curvature, you can use a flow filtering type. This type will cause a flow simulation to run on your terrain, allowing you to filter texturing and other things based on the results. This simulation is more expensive than other filters, but takes just 5ms on 16 1k terrains.

- NEW: Option to force vegetation to sync along with the sync back API

- Fix : Multiple optimizations to rendering on GPU/CPU side

- Fix: Several null references

- Fix: Falloff Override noise was not being applied correctly to sub stamps.

MicroVerse 1.7.9

- NEW: Height Area Effect Stamp. It basically acts like post processing for height fields, but as it's own area stamp. There are currently 4 effects- Terrace, Beach, Remap Curve, and Noise. You can place this like any other stamp, with falloff, etc, and it will effect the height maps below it with the effect. Beach, for instance, pulls the height maps near the stamp in height towards that height.

- Fix: Object stamp was leaving objects disabled when entering play mode with domain reload off

- Fix: Updated shaders to latest rendering abstractions for HDRP2022

MicroVerse 1.7.8
