Hopefully BL_Construct works out nicely

Youtube just added support for 60 FPS so it looks like I'll need to re-shoot everything.
And BTW I'm still taking builds.

Woo!

Man, the 60fps videos are almost creepy.

How does this not kill your performance completely? I was under the impression that tesselation is just an automatic way to add 3D detail which would be exactly the same thing as making the models have that 3D detail in the first place.

I got cabin i made some months back, and added some terrain and snow. :)

The original thread for the cabin

Small preview of what it is now:

The save with added snow and terrain!

If you choose to use it, you are free to change it however you see fit.

Information about what bricks you need is in the original thread

I never said it performed perfectly. Tessellated bricks take longer to ghost, longer to load, and longer to clear. The framerate will remain the same as it was before but will dip when loading or clearing bricks. This mod puts massive strain on your video memory and memory controller. The equation for memory usage is as follows: m=8.5b+600 where b is the amount of bricks in thousands and m is the video memory usage in MB. This equation doesn't take into account client sided add-ons such as RTB or shaders.

Something I made a little bit ago. Some parts are simple, but I'm sure it would look pretty.

How come? You're rendering ~10 times more faces than before.

I just thought of something...
What would the Bevel Bricks look like with extra tessellation?

Because octrees and raycasts and static shapes and culling and render groups.

It would look exactly the same because this mod skips over custom bricks unless you set the tessellation mode to all bricks or collision models.

Then what would happen if you applied tessellation to them?
Just more tessellation?

It's either all or nothing. Either it would look like the default beveled brick or a regular tessellated brick based on the configuration of the settings.
