Maximum area supported

Post by amattag »

Hello all,

Currently I am working in the simulation of a set of robots that must follow patrol missions in large scenarios.
I am very interested in using V-REP as the simulator, but I would like to know which is the maximum area in square meters
that a scenario can support in V-REP.

Many thanks for your help,

Antonio Matta.

Hello Antonio,

There is no specific limitation in size. However:
  • Dynamic objects will only be active in a specific radius, counting from the origin. Refer to the variable "dynamicActivityRange" in file "system/usrset.txt" to adjust this radius
  • You can use very large maps. Make sure you adjust the camera's near/far clipping planes appropriately (if the near plane is too small compared to the far plane, you will experience OpenGl "Z-fighting")
Cheers
