Could I use a huge imported mesh for a landscape instead of the one built with the editor?
Iām sure MostHostLA will chime in that landscapes + displacement/tessellation is garbage, and it basically is. Totally works but itās a performance sink.
Iām finding that the virtual heightfield mesh + runtime virtual textures offers a much more performant solution, comparatively. If that is āoptimizedā enough for youā¦?
What I can say is there is often the direction of āif you donāt really need it as a landscape, sculpt it as you wish and export that section as a static mesh. Reimport if you want to use as a background, etc.ā. This makes sense since a static mesh would likely be more performant, particularly if itās just a mountain you look at.
