You may for example paint the material opacity in the vertex ( it is continuous, no need to cut vertices ) and blend in the pixel shader reading the various texture. Solution are countless here anyway, but the basics, terrain are simple enough to parametrize the uvs. | |

| Jan 17, 2017 at 23:02 | comment | added | galop1n | @fighting_falcon93 For a terrain mesh, you can generate the texture coordinates from the position ( you could even have only the height and generate the 2D grid location from the vertex ID ). If you want to repeat the texture over the surface, you can set the sampler state to wrap, and just let the hardware loop it for you. | |
