bigger terrains

by Jason Chadwick · in Arcane FX (Public) · 06/10/2009 (11:59 am) · 2 replies

I have noticed that the terrain can seem to go on forever. Seems like its just repeating its self over and over is this right? is there any way to make the area that I can actually edit larger?

Depends on what engine you are using. If you are using TGE, the terrain tiles infinitely. You are limited to a 4Kx4K terrainBlock size.

In TGEA, Atlas is available which allows for much larger terrains. This can only be edited by a 3rd party tool, such as L3DT.

This is a general Torque question, so you can probably get more help in a TGE or TGEA forum.

AFX has nothing to do with terrain size. In either engine you can adjust the squaresize(powers of 2) of the terrain which will allow you to alter the apparent size of the terrain. You'll find discussions about this and more in the relevant forums.
