Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to create an "inifinite terrain". What I mean is, I can use a terrain created from a height map, but there comes a moment the player can reach the edge of the terrain (which wouldn't look too good on a game). I also don't want to simply place a wall at the edge of the terrain.


I have seen some demos where the terrain "repeats" itself when the player reaches the edge. If you walk straight forward, eventually you end up in the same place where you started. Does anyone know how this is done?
