im guessing this basically triples the face count of all blockland bricks. in that case wouldn't it be just 3x harder to run then a normal amount of bricks?

like if 5000 bricks on-screen takes up x amount of VRAM, would 5000 tessellated bricks take up 3x amount of VRAM?

I haven't gotten any exact numbers but that sounds about right, not including top tessellation.

oh my loving god this is amazing

how's this possible in blockland?

It generates new blb's for each brick based on the settings and ties that new blb file to the datablock. Here's a BLB generated by the mod.

From what I've experienced the game renders tessellation bricks nearly as fast as vanilla bricks, with the only real caveat being the increased Vram usage. Blockland doesn't use much Vram to begin with and with Top Mode set to Textured and everything else turned on I've been able to have 256,000 tessellated brick loaded at once. I have 2 GTX 1080 Ti's so your results might vary.

Description

DISCLAIMERS

Normal: Brick tessellation is only enabled on regular bricks
Special: Brick tessellation is enabled on special bricks without collision models

Top Mode, Side Mode, Bottom Mode

Flat: This side of the brick will be flat-shaded and untextured
Specular: This side of the brick will be flat-shaded bit will have specular highlights
Textured: How bricks are usually rendered
Tessellated: Bricks are flat-shaded tessellated with no specular highlights or brick textures
Tessellated/Specular: Tessellated with specular highlights but ignores textures
Tessellated/Textured: Bricks are both tessellated and textured with specular highlights

Depth

How far the tessellation sticks out from the brick

Inset

How far from the sides of the brick that it ramps in

Recommended to make untextured tessellated bricks stick out in shadows

I dindt think comment lines would forget up the code that badly.

That's what comment lines do. Anything after the // is ignored

He also goes by the name "Jasa" these days.

I got the name back now. He took the name after it got revoked last July, but was kind enough to give it back after impersonating me on your server.

Necrobumping wouldn't be an issue if we didn't have idiots replying "wtf, why did you necrobump this??? get band cigarettet!" In every topic that gets necrobumped, thus keeping said necrobumped topic on the front page even longer.
