Hello,

I'd like to know if this is a better use of terrain or a block to create e level ?

thank you in advance

It´s better to use a terrain, because the rendering of terains is much faster than the rendering of a block.

This is because WED work with binary trees.

Thanks for your reponse

fact, it depends from map to map, but if you can do same thing with terrain and block, use terrain.

You cant say that terrain is better, or blocks
(or models or Sprites)

It really depends on the level:

Indoor Shooter Level:
Big elements like walls : use Blocks
Small elements like barrels and switches: use Models

Outdoor Shooter Level:
Use Terrin as basic lower boundary
Models fro Trees and plants
Models for Buildings, or Blocks for Buildings, depending
on how much work you want to put into collisiondetection and
shadow methods

"Space Level"
use Models for everything, and Sprites for some
cool light effects.


etc...

all Entities have their use.
