Unity Shader:三向贴图（Tri-planar mapping)---解决地形拉伸贴图变形以及贴图边缘的缝隙问题

效果图：

效果图1,地形：左边为三向贴图效果，右边为一般贴图效果。

效果图2，树干:右边为三向贴图效果，左边为一般贴图效果。

效果图3，球体：左边为三向贴图效果，右边为一般贴图效果。

1,世界坐标贴图 World Space UV-mapping
在一般的贴图方法中，在片段着色器内使用tex2D(texture,uv);对2D材质进行采样时，片段着色器将会根据顶点着色器将会传入的顶点UV值插值出当前像素点的uv值。在World Space UV-mapping中，uv值使用当前像素的世界坐标，tex2D(texture,worldPos_xy);。由于uv值只可以取0-1，因此一般面积大于1的2D平面会出现一种repeat的效果，可以将uv值除以一个变量进行缩放，tex2D(texture,worldPos_xy/textureScale);。这种贴图方法的优势是物体向xy平面方向放大时贴图不会出现拉伸，缺点时当物体移动或旋转时，贴图不会随着物体移动，而是根据新的坐标重新进行材质采样。

效果图4：平面以worldPos_xz进行tex2D()

2,三向贴图 Triplanar Mapping
以世界坐标贴图方法为基础，将像素的世界坐标（x,y,z)取值为三组UV，xy,xz,yz；根据三组UV值分别对材质进行采样， 然后根据法线方形对采样的颜色进行混合。这样当像素的法线面向y轴时，它会显示由xz采样的颜色，当面向x轴时，将会显示yz采样的颜色，在面向xy轴45度夹角时将会显示由xz，yz采样出的颜色的混合颜色。以此种方式对物体所有非平滑处进行混合过渡。对不规则复杂形状物体，如地形，树木用此方式贴图视觉效果更好。缺点是计算量相对普通贴图要更大。

surface shader:
