ShaderTerrainMesh terrain engine draw road

Scripting Issues

Hello, i want to create ShaderTerrainMesh terrain with grass, wood and road.

I found how I can do this with GeoMipTerrain in panda documentation, but i don’t found for ShaderTerrainMesh.
I took the example again, but it doesn’t work.

i have this error:
AttributeError: ‘panda3d.core.ShaderTerrainMesh’ object has no attribute ‘getRoot’

at line 32

from pandac.PandaModules import Vec4
from pandac.PandaModules import TextureStage

from panda3d.core import ShaderTerrainMesh, Shader, load_prc_file_data


render.setShaderAuto()


# add ambient light
ambient = Vec4(0.34, 0.3, 0.3, 1)
alight = AmbientLight('alight')
alight.setColor(ambient)
alnp = render.attachNewNode(alight)
render.setLight(alnp)


"""# Set up the GeoMipTerrain
terrain = GeoMipTerrain("genTerrain")
terrain.setHeightfield("./textures/generatedheight.png")"""

 
# Set up the ShaderTerrainMesh
terrain = ShaderTerrainMesh()
myTexture = loader.loadTexture("./textures/generatedheight.png")
terrain.setHeightfield(myTexture)
terrain.target_triangle_width = 10.0
 
# Store the root NodePath for convenience
root = terrain.getRoot()
root.reparentTo(render)
root.setSz(50)

# Generate it.
terrain.generate()





# Step 1: alpha maps - first two
ts = TextureStage("stage-basicalpha")
ts.setSort(00)
ts.setMode(TextureStage.MReplace)
root.setTexture(ts, loader.loadTexture("./textures/alpha2.jpg", "./textures/alpha4.jpg"))
ts.setSavedResult(True)

# Step 2: first texture - rocks go on everything
ts = TextureStage("stage-first")
ts.setSort(10)
ts.setMode(TextureStage.MReplace)
root.setTexture(ts, loader.loadTexture("./textures/rock.jpg"))
root.setTexScale(ts, 64, 64)


# Step 3: second texture grass go on alpha2
ts = TextureStage("stage-second")
ts.setSort(20)
ts.setCombineRgb(TextureStage.CMInterpolate, TextureStage.CSTexture, TextureStage.COSrcColor,
                                             TextureStage.CSPrevious, TextureStage.COSrcColor,
                                             TextureStage.CSLastSavedResult, TextureStage.COSrcColor)
root.setTexture(ts, loader.loadTexture("./textures/grass.jpg"))
root.setTexScale(ts, 32, 32)

## Step 5: third texture - road goes on alpha4
ts = TextureStage("stage-third")
ts.setSort(40)
root.setTexture(ts, loader.loadTexture("./textures/road.jpg"))
ts.setCombineRgb(TextureStage.CMInterpolate, TextureStage.CSTexture, TextureStage.COSrcColor,
                                             TextureStage.CSPrevious, TextureStage.COSrcColor,
                                             TextureStage.CSLastSavedResult, TextureStage.COSrcAlpha)

how can i make this ?
thanks for advance for your help.

The ShaderTerrainMesh class does not have a getRoot method, I believe thats a method of GeoMipTerrain.
The class behaves different from GeoMipTerrain. It does not support multitextures, but instead you will have to write your own shader for it. There is a sample showing how to use it: github.com/panda3d/panda3d/tree … er-terrain

ok but i search a solution for apply texture by heightmap,

like this for example, Is it possible to do it with a shader ?

in this example i want to apply water texture in black color

Because i generated my terrain with noise perlin
