Salama Cascade v0.2.0

Flowing banked turns, procedurally generated (mostly)

Although the map is fully usable, there is still a lot that could be done.

Post any questions, requests, comments, suggestions, etc!

Here's the "procedural" technique I used to make it:

- create terrain heightmap and PBR textures with Gaea
- import terrain into Blender, and add roads using this technique by BeamNG dev LJFHutch: https://www.beamng.com/threads/making-road-in-blender-2-9x.77566/#post-1291294 updated to Blender 3.6. Basically, you make a road mesh follow a bezier curve, and position the curve over the terrain.
- bake roads onto the heightmap and render road masks
- back in Gaea, texture roads using new heightmap and masks
- back in Blender, use Geoscatter to add forests, export and convert to forest.json
- import into game using terrain importer
- pull in textures, materials, daes from any zipped level using python tool
