📌 Want to make blocky (Minecraft) terrains with Digger? Or low poly style? Check out our new tool PolyTerrain!


More and more AAA games add gentle overhangs and caves to their environment to make it more realistic, more interesting and more diversified.


With Digger, no more need for an external tool, no more loss of time, no more headache. It lets you create caves and overhangs in your terrain directly within the scene view, in a few clicks.


It will make you feel like you have a voxel terrain in your hands, without the downsides. It actually keeps the fast and reliable Unity's terrain system and creates seamless cave/overhangs meshes just where needed. Internally, Digger uses voxels and Marching Cubes to create meshes, but instead of replacing the entire terrain with a voxel terrain, it creates a mix of them and gives you the best of both worlds.



With this tool, you will be able to:


➤ Dig in your Unity terrain just like if it was a smooth voxel terrain.

➤ Create overhangs (the opposite of digging).

➤ Apply different textures on the overhangs, in the caves, etc.

With Digger PRO only: dig in real-time at runtime.



Key features:


➤ Easy to setup (see setup instructions) and easy to use

➤ Dig/add mater on terrain

➤ Paint textures on cave meshes

➤ Paint/unpaint holes on cave meshes so you can integrate your own underground meshes

➤ Automatic collision solver

➤ Automatic LOD groups creation

➤ Multi-terrains support

➤ Full NavMesh support

➤ Compatible with any Unity terrain, whether it was made by hand, with Gaia, MapMagic, TerrainComposer or any other tool

Only with Digger PRO: dig in real-time, at runtime.

Only with Digger PRO: update NavMesh at runtime.
