Hello my Friends
Just wondering about landscape tile size the default (recommended) size makes 1009 landscape but the nearest power of 2 would be 1024?
why would 1024 not be a better option?
I do see that there is issues with edges warping up without using the correct size tiles. But wouldn’t it be more optimized at power of 2? or is my head up my back end today?

Hi, the landscape consists of components which consists of sections. Those sections need to be a power of two, and since where they meet they share vertices, this will result in the whole landscape not being a power of two.

Doc Landscape Technical Guide | Unreal Engine Documentation especially under ComponentSections

thanks I think my head was on upside down yesterday I was doing a multi edit and noticed it for the landscape tiles think I just confused myself thinking too hard. I knew the edge’s were shared verts forgot all about the components… thanks
