Hi detail Terrain Texturing

Why yes: Terrain rev. 3

The best technique for you to use will depend on what your needs are for your project. One technique is called texture splatting – searching here and on google will give some awesome details and examples.

In short: Information from your terrain, such as height and slope, plus tiled terrain textures, are sent into a shader. The shader will then determine which texture will be used for that pixel on the screen.
