Optimisation: Uses advanced algorithms to handle massive polycounts without bloating file size. Overview Step-by-Step: Creating a Mountain in 5 Minutes

• Native Max (Displace): 2M polys → 4.2 sec/frame (V-Ray). Scatter 5k trees → Crash risk.
• TerrainMesh + Forest Pack: Dynamic 500k-3M polys → 1.8 sec/frame. 50k instanced trees → Stable 24 FPS.

• Use Triplanar mapping (available in V-Ray, Corona, or Arnold). This projects textures from the X, Y, and Z axes.
• Masking: Load your Gaea Snow Mask into a Composite map. Use it to mix a "Rock" shader and a "Snow" shader. The result? Snow precisely where the simulation says it should be.
