| Would blockland run faster if minifigs didn't render each part? |

It still takes up space, it doesn't have to be rendered to take up space. Unrendered bricks still can slow down a computer, depending how many there are. |

Rendering is calculating what to display on the screen. --- Quote from: Lørd Tøny on February 24, 2012, 08:02:07 AM ---Unrendered bricks still can slow down a computer, depending how many there are. --- End quote --- I just quickly made a huge cluster of about 10k 1x1s with no rendering without a FPS drop when the outlines aren't visible. |

I could of sworn someone used this unrendered bullstuff as an excuse to not having more default parts. |

An easy way to test this would be to make a model with two nodes, one to let you know it's even there, and another one that has a crapload of fpskilling polygons. Spawn it with the second node hidden and see what happens. |

I don't think it would run faster/slower if it did or didn't. The models aren't that complex, so it wouldn't slow it down, and if they are hidden in the first place, then they are not rendered. |
