It can be challenging to create performant and scalable systems in Open 3D Engine that also remain flexible, dynamic, and modular. In this session, we dive deep into the technical approaches we took when optimizing and refining the terrain system so that it could scale from 1 km x 1 km to 64 km x 64 km and beyond. We examine the simulation changes to improve CPU usage, the rendering changes to improve GPU usage, and the overall design choices that enable scalability. Finally, we demonstrate the results of the improvements.
