Frameless Default Doors

[Demian]

I'm almost done with making the default doors frameless. Everything works as expected except for one thing. The undulo shape fx looks really bad with my version of the doors. The good news? My doors have less than half the amount of faces than the same door's default version.

You can only have one:
Prettier undulo (currently kind of unusable, it looks like stuff)
Significantly less faces (slightly better performance, ~2 of my doors = 1 same default door)

I wish I knew what kind of performance hit 100 quads do so I could judge better. I know BLBs are optimized, but to what extent?

Released.

You know, an example of how undulo fx looks on your doors currently would be nice.
Sounds like a good idea though, frameless doors.

Wonder why they made the door with frames anyhow...

I really don't see anybody wanting to use Undulo on doors, so does it really matter?

Some people might get teen angst if they can't undulo their doors.

The default doors faces are all connected and one mesh
You use multiple boxes
right?

More or less correct. Most of my faces are not connected to each other.

Well it can be used for special effects, like some weird haunted hallway or something.

Ah okay, that looks very odd indeed.
In this case i would rather like to have the undulo effect looking a bit more normal than having to see that when i undulo the door.

maybe make it that the faces dont intersect and are always connected to each other and have their vertices at the same points?

That would increase the amount of faces.

But fix the undulo
What do you think why the default door has so many faces?

Have you perhaps missed the entire point of this topic?

Lazy modeling + undulo. I released the doors with as few faces as I could. If too many complaints about undulo start rolling in I'll redo them.
