Get Started with Vista

This guide takes you from an empty scene to a generated terrain using the Vista Wizard. You will create a terrain grid, create one complete biome from a bundled template, and make your first customization.

You don't need to build a terrain graph from scratch to get a useful result. Vista 3.2 can create terrain grids for the terrain backends supported by your project, and its biome templates provide a finished starting point for terrain shape, texturing, and population.

What you will create

By the end of this guide, your scene will contain:

  • a Vista Manager
  • a terrain grid created through Vista
  • one Mountain biome created from a bundled template
  • generated terrain shape and textures
  • trees and details where they are supported by the selected terrain backend
  • an editable copy of the biome's terrain graph

Open the Vista Wizard

Open Window > Vista > Wizard, or right click on the Hierarchy and select 3D Object > Vista > Wizard.
