Creating environments
Unity provides a selection of tools that let you create environmental features such as landforms and vegetation.
In this section, you can find information on:
- Built-in TerrainThe landscape in your scene. A Terrain GameObject adds a large flat plane to your scene and you can use the Terrain’s Inspector window to create a detailed landscape. More info
See in Glossary features in the Unity Editor, which consist of basic tools that let you create and modify landscapes in the Unity Editor, and runtime features that optimize Terrain rendering. - The Terrain Tools preview packageA preview package is in development and not yet ready for production. A package in preview might be at any stage of development, from the initial stages to near completion.
See in Glossary, which provides additional Editor tooling functionality on top of the built-in Terrain features. -
Tree Editor, which lets you design TreesA GameObject and associated Component that allows you to add tree assets to your Scene. You can add branch levels and leaves to trees in the Tree Inspector window. More info
