There is a workaround: [image] Floating Origin Template for BJS 5.x Demos and projects Ok, so this is a template for people who want a floating-origin solution on BJS 5.x – that is, support for huge scenery (ex: a solar system). [fp] I did not care about visuals at this…

Hey! can you elaborate a bit more?

I believe he is referring to a trick used to render very big scenes, called floating-origin. The idea of floating-origin is to keep the camera fixed at world’s origin (0, 0, 0) and instead of moving the camera, move all the objects around the camera. That trick makes floating-point imprecision to …

Great that your description here is my problem. Looking forward to babylonjs with related support. I think it may involve modification of “light”, “shadow” and other related programs

I’m eager to see that. Pls, Let us know when ready :yum:

The required change to make floating-origin global into the engine is very simple. When updating any object’s matrix – at that final update just before rendering – it is just a matter of subtracting the current camera position from the object’s position, and then setting this offset to the view mat…

The first one could be easy to do with a few lines like: scene.onBeforeActiveMeshesEvaluationObservable.add(() => { scene.meshes.forEach(m =>m.position....); });

Are there any new developments that I can see from babylonjs?
