Terrain Sizes bigger than 512x512... Are they absolutly necessary?

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Terrain Sizes bigger than 512x512... Are they absolutly necessary?

@ sswift

Anyhow, what they said is true. If your game looks fine with 256, then why are you even asking? :-) If you like how it looks then there's no reason at all to use more polygons just for the sake of using more.


The reason I asked this question is because im' building a terrain editor that will later on be released to the Blitz community along with my world builder as well and I wanted to see exactly how many people would respond to this question to better help me make a decision on what limits I should set in my terrain editor. I saw Total Terrain have a max limit of 1024x1024 in size so I was wondering what limits I should use for my terrain editor. I just wanted to make an terrain editor that would handle the desired need at that moment you might say! I hope this answers your question now!
