taking a brief detour and revisiting old tool stuff

works pretty well from a top down view, totally stealing this

finally happy about the edges, turns out I just had to spend a little more time hand-authoring the heightmaps

@Namatnieks lol, exactly what I'm trying to replicate

@Zonelnteractif I'm doing the same blending for the terrain, but with a different offset and sharpness. So I first blend to shadowcolor, then blend to texture stuff on top. The mask is just vertex color. The offset gets nudged by shadow / cliff direction too.

@CaptainGPU custom shader, using polybrush to paint vertex colors

@duc_de_puce going the "lazier" way and just using a vertex splatmap + heightmaps (just texture brightness for now) also using the same blending to add some drop shadow to the layers probably could have just made the tiles already, oh well...

right now it works by baking vertex color gradient direction in UV channels and DOTing that with light dir, wonder if there's an easier way... perhaps geometry shaders....
