Do we have control on the chunks saved by the tilemap editor ?

Hi,

Do we have control on the chunks saved by the tilemap editor ? such increasing their size or reducing their size ?

Thanks!

Found it. Its Partition size. What nice with this is that it litterally can fix the lightning limit issue.  Because mesh are smaller and since the limit is 6 light per vertex shader per mesh. It make use of more lights per meters.  Offcourse, i don't recommand this for very large tilemap size. This could increase the draw calls severly. But for small scenes like in my project this was the fix.

Sorry to jump into this thread but it is related...

I'm just wondering, under normal circumstances I.e not needing to change the partition size to combat lighting issues like you mentioned,  is there an optimal partition size  for  a tilemap size?

Leave it at default sizes unless it becomes a problem. 32x32 was picked for a reason, when fully populated it is 2k triangles which was quite a decently large number considering it could be only partially visible. Eg. if you have 4 chunks partially visible you'll have 8k tris drawing. If you have 9, its 18k.
