whoa that is cool. how did you do it, and does it effect performance much?

also the studs look silly but the sides are beautiful omg

Studs? No.
Sides? Yeah!

But, it would add more faces to every brick reducing frame rate that much more. About, what? 17 extra faces?
Also, how did you do that?

It's fully configurable.

You can have smaller sides.

Or a completely flat surface.
Your framerate should theoretically be the exact same with tessellated bricks as it is with regular bricks.

Why not? Just asking, so don't take this negatively somehow. Anyways, this looks pretty cool and nice job however you managed to do this.

Jesus Christ, that is beautiful.
How is it configured, did you create a gui or do you use the console?

GhostStar · May 19, 2014, 10:14:38 PM

Please release. No reason not to. You'd be a god like port and his shaders

Teneksi · May 19, 2014, 10:15:18 PM

I've wanted to see this for a long time. Even if it's a bit messy (looks like ramps and road bricks don't get the effect), I must ask that you release it.

It's configured by a group of variables but I could easily create a GUI for it.
You would need to restart Blockland or reconnect for the changes to take effect though.

There's still work that needs to be done though. Mainly the bottoms of the bricks.
