Create an infinite map

Hi there!

I would like to make a very large map on Roblox.

I inquired about a system of places, but I wondered: would it be possible to make a gigantic (or even infinite?) and optimized map? I learned that you can use StreamingEnabled, does that just reduce client lag or is that a doorway to creating a very large/infinite map?

Does anyone have a solution to create a very large realistic AND optimized map?

Thanks in advance! :grinning:

Yes you can make an infinite map. For optimisation you would want to use a custom ā€œrender distanceā€ system, removing any parts / terrain thatā€™s outside of the distance. For example if the render distance was 1k studs, anything outside of 1k studs of the player would be removed. You could use the same technique for a very large map

Are you looking to make very large terrain or a very large baseplate?

If you are looking for infinite terrain, I canā€™t really help you there, but if you want an infinite, flat surface you can possibly use meshes as you can size them as big as you want Iā€™m pretty sure.

Yes I want to use a terrainā€¦ and I donā€™t know if itā€™s possible to create a render distance with the terrain

There is a infinite terrain plugin that a lot of people use, hope that helps! :smile:

You can use Terrain:FillBall (or another shape) by filling the area with the air material
