For that reason, the focus of most regional texturing development has been on creating ALS procedural definitions, but care has to be taken to create visuals which work for the other renderers as well. | ||
In addition, some situations require also in ALS to assign a special effect because the default terrain effect is ill equipped to handle the visuals (water and urban relief mapping are the prime examples, but there's also the procedural rock shader or the agriculture shader). | In addition, some situations require also in ALS to assign a special effect because the default terrain effect is ill equipped to handle the visuals (water and urban relief mapping are the prime examples, but there's also the procedural rock shader or the agriculture shader). | ||
