Vegetation Rotation Modifier Component
Add variation to the vegetation instances in your level with the Vegetation Rotation Modifier component. Use gradients to control how vegetation or blocker instances are individually rotated on the X, Y, or Z-axis. By default, this component is configured to rotate a vegetation instance up to 180 degrees on the Z-axis, in either direction.
Provider
Dependencies
Add one of the following required components when using the Vegetation Rotation Modifier component:
- Vegetation Layer Blender
- Vegetation Layer Blocker
- Vegetation Layer Blocker (Mesh)
- Vegetation Layer Spawner
