Mantle at Unite L.A !
https://youtu.be/Wx1ZIn34rDk
Mantle is an automatic city, terrain and transport system generation tool that saves you months of world building time by directly rendering a 3D environment into your Unity scene from online mapping data using a Mantle theme of your choice.
Use the two packaged themes or bring your own creativity and ideas to life through the Mantle UI which allows you to create and generate environments from your own content. Anything you can think of!

How fast?
A typical scene is fully rendered at lightning fast speeds: within a matter of seconds to a few minutes dependent on scene complexity.
Can I use Mantle to generate scenes live in a published build?
Very nearly! We demoed Mantle Live recently and will have more details on how to access the beta on mantle.tech shortly.
What's the process?
To generate an environment, simply paste a latitude and longitude from google maps, input an area size into the Mantle inspector, pick the Theme you wish you apply and hit go. Mantle downloads 2D map data for your chosen area and renders it in 3D in your chosen Theme.
Mantle initially requires an internet connection to download and cache map data.
