Additional Tags

clutter-mesh
Ground textures can now reference a mesh and insert the mesh automatically as the ground is painted.

Painting over a clutter-mesh ground texture effectively deletes clutter meshes and texture. The mesh it refers to can be a standard scenery object kind mesh. Clutter-meshes must have only one Max material assigned to it. Polycounts must be very low.
