    I am interested in opinions about using a plane or resized cubes as the environment ground and scenery as opposed to creating terrain. Does using a plane or resized cube give better performance than generating terrain for a 3D game?

    Yes, if you're content with flat ground then don't use a Terrain. Use a Plane.

    Or if you need it to be 3D, right? Like a cave or something.
