wtf? How will pulling up little sections of the brick models make the game lag like hell?
that's like saying adding another player model will lag the game like hell
Adding player models at the scale you're suggesting for bricks
will lag the game.
The deal here is this: The game lags when it renders a lot of
faces. faces are sides to a 3d object - a perfect cube has 6 faces.
bricks have 6 faces, because they're like cubes, except rectangular, not boxy. (close enough)
what you're suggesting adds 5 faces for each dimension of the bricks. the raised thing looks like the picture shown above.
a 2x4 would go from 6 faces to 25 faces. this is a lot of faces. now, theoretically, it would only add these spare 'studs' for the top layer of bricks - they would be hidden if there is a brick on top of one of them, so that might help.
