Best practice: Having a big 2k terrain or smaller connected ones

Unity Engine
1

Hello,
I would like to know what is best for my use case. I want to create a 1500x1500 terrain (with a 1000x1000 walkable area). What is best for that? Create a single one or create 9 connected smaller terrains?

For walking? both will do.

I agree, however one small observation is that breaking the terrain down (probably powers of two in size) carries a potential advantage that you can cull whole terrain objects which are behind the camera, which may ultimately be more performant. This does add complexity however. Good luck!

Thank you guys for the quick replies!
