Hello im trying to make a map and i’m trying to decide whether to use terrain or meshes for terrain.
The downside of terrain is theres a limited amount of materials to choose from. And using material manager can only replace them and not create new ones. So I wanted to use meshes and put them side by side with each other.
Does anybody know if this will cause lag?
Both use triangles so the only way to optimize is to limit your triangle count while making said meshes.
Meshes are objectively better if you don’t plan on destroying the terrain due to the fact that meshes take up far less memory than terrain.
Terrain is a bit more messy and “uncontrollable” but it can help you for smoother surfaces for like land, but if you want a smoother controlled approach, then you should go with terrain. Peformance wise just go with meshes
