Digger is a simple yet powerful tool to dig caves and overhangs in your Unity terrains directly from the Unity editor. It gives Unity terrains the power of voxel terrains.
Render pipeline compatibility
The Built-in Render Pipeline is Unity’s default render pipeline. It is a general-purpose render pipeline that has limited options for customization. The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that is quick and easy to customize, and lets you create optimized graphics across a wide range of platforms. The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that lets you create cutting-edge, high-fidelity graphics on high-end platforms.

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



Games are increasingly incorporating overhangs and caves into their environments for heightened realism and diversity. Digger streamlines this process, eliminating the need for external tools, saving time, and reducing complexity.


This innovative tool allows you to seamlessly integrate caves and overhangs into your terrain directly within the scene view, all with a few simple clicks.


Digger is designed to give the impression of a voxel terrain without the associated drawbacks. It smartly maintains the reliable Unity terrain system, generating seamless cave and overhang meshes precisely where required. Under the hood, Digger employs voxels and Marching Cubes to construct meshes. Rather than entirely replacing the existing terrain with a voxel terrain, it blends the two, offering the best of both terrains.



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

➤ 🔥 NEW: support lightmapping

➤ 🔥 Advanced Operations module is now included by default!

➤ 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

➤ Use your own mesh as a custom brush

➤ 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.

Enhance Digger with the Advanced Operations module

➤ Create blocky or lowpoly style terrains with PolyTerrain (fully integrated with Digger)



Shaders:


➤ Bonus: adds advanced triplanar mapping to built-in terrain shaders.

Standard terrain shader.

URP 14 and 17 terrain shader.

HDRP 14 and 17 terrain shader.

MicroSplat (requires MicroSplat Digger module. Note: the MicroSplat Digger module is not compatible with some other MicroSplat modules. Read MicroSplat documentation for more details)



Other features:


➤ Full undo/redo support in editor

➤ Lets you set higher resolution for Digger generated meshes

➤ 'Sync & Refresh' button to recompute everything (useful if terrain textures or terrain heights changed)

➤ 'Clear' button to remove all modifications made with the tool

➤ Remove grass and details automatically

➤ Persists modifications on the fly
