- Description:
- A vast canyon lightly dusted with snow and enshrouded by a foggy sunrise.
This world was created as a tech demo for authoring large terrains with minimal rendering performance impact. The main terrain spans two kilometers and is sliced into 64 chunks that are 32 meters across. This approach allows the use of frustum-culling and the authoring of multiple levels of detail to reduce triangle counts at further distances.
All the options contained in the Context Menu are local, including the Time of Day selector.
