Best Practices & Performance

LODs

Every core model has three LOD levels:

• LOD0 – best quality, for close-up cliffs and important foreground formations
• LOD1 – medium distance
• LOD2 – background formations, or scenes where many cliffs are visible at once

Texture sizes

The textures are at most 2048 × 2048. Lower their import size in Unity when you need a smaller footprint:

• Close-up and high-quality scenes: 2048
• Standard gameplay: 2048
• Lower-end hardware: 1024–2048
• Far background formations: 1024 or lower

Performance tips

• Keep the included LOD Groups enabled.
• Lower the texture import size where full 2048 textures aren’t needed.
• Turn off colliders on decorative pieces without gameplay.
• Reuse the biome materials instead of making many duplicates.

Scene building tips

• Mix Wall A and Wall B to reduce repetition.
• Combine wide, narrow, blocky and sloped pillars for a varied silhouette.
• Use the mesa as a landmark or background formation.
• Place boulders near cliff bases and transitions.
• Rotate repeated pieces where the layout allows it.
• Scale carefully to add variety while keeping the stylized proportions.
• Blend cliff bases with terrain, ground textures, foliage, debris or small props.
• Try the other biome materials to test alternative looks of the same layout.

The best results come from combining several shapes rather than repeating one cliff piece.
