World Size ?

by Erik 'Flybert' Aamot · in Torque Game Engine · 03/19/2001 (11:12 pm) · 1 replies

Tribes and apparently tribes 2 uses a relatively generic and small terrain tile set , as well as the worlds being
a mile or 2 in size.

The LOD system and texture memory management seems real tight and efficient , but I'm wondering if it's going to be easy to have a MUCH larger tile set , perhaps 100s of greater specific detail and worlds of any size , even "infinite" ... tho a few hundred miles would more than suit my needs !:)

Oh...no mention of bump mapping ...possible ?

You should definitely check out this discussion thread on the terrain from a couple days ago.
