I want to make a free roam game that has a fairly big map. Do you recommend I have one big terrain or separate or what? Thanks!
No responses? Bump
No. Use multiple terrains. If you use one large one the textures will look really bad and Unity will have to draw the whole thing, even though most of it would be hidden. Multiple terrains mean Unity can cull the ones out of sight.
btw, someone literally asked the same question you did right here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/225519-What-looks-better-for-terrains
many thanks for the help!
