Title: Flat planet
Post by: Ashley on March 10, 2015, 11:23:50 PM
Is it possible to make a flat planet?
I want to export large scale terrains based on a flat planet, not a sphere.

Cheers

Hmmm...... never thought of that. I really doubt it and am replying mainly to find out from someone who does know.

Just use a Plane or Card and apply displacement, if you're planning to export geometry using the Micro Exporter. If instead you're intending to use the Heightfield export, then perhaps just leaving "Flatten Surface First" enabled will be just fine, it works at fairly large scales.

Thanks Oshyan, I'll give that a go.
