A minimap that scans terrain!

Greetings devs!
I have been trying to do this for a good while, and I have done it!
It is a minimap that scans terrain and shows it using parts in a viewport frame!
The only thing is that you need to split the terrain in to little parts if you want it to work properly, but I am already working on automating this!

You will ask, how was this done?!
I will share it in detail if I open source it, but I can say that it involves raycasting a grid and detecting terrain, then taking every point and wrapping a mesh around it.

Should I open source this?

  • Yes!
  • No!

Where’s the minimap though?

i guess he meant that mesh that wrapping around so meshes visible in viewport frames and that means you can see that terrain in minimap
