Quote:Originally posted by ZurkeI guess that depends. Normally meshes would not affect the FPS in any noticeable way. However, when you get into high face counts, parralax mapping, or complex collision shapes, I would say that's when the FPS is most affected. The last in that list should not be a problem for meshes like these.
That sounds like a great idea TID. But how would those tiles effect the FPS?
However, I would need to either use parralax mapping or a higher face count (or a combination) in order to achieve a realistic rocky-surface appearance. If I'm careful though, these should not be done to an extent that would cause a noticeable FPS drop.

Thanks all.
Hm, a thought occurred to me. What if a tileset similar to this was made, except for exterior landscaping... like cliffs, or static tree/forest backgrounds?
Earlier on, an idea was proposed to close off areas of our landscape that we do not have the time/manpower to customize. We might be able to do this with a tileset like the one I'm proposing, while still maintaining a realistic appearance (say... without having obviously artificial and abrupt increases in landscape height). Any thoughts? =)
I probably wouldn't have time to do this for at least several weeks due to school, and also the fact that I want to help finish Soluthis and Silgrad City, but I think it's something I could look forward to working on.
If it's used in child WS' it should be fine FPS wise.

I'm sorry for reviving what should be a dead thread, but did I ever submit this? I remember things got really busy in RL shortly after posting this, that's why I'm not 100% sure.
