BigBadBeef Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 I know forests make performance issues for certain types of hardware due to large amounts of foliage being present, but would it be a big performance hit if you were to just clip off some edges from those blocky tree trunks? It doesn't have to be much, just a few voxels from every edge to just roughly approach roundness. Your foliage generation algorithm is already way superior to that certain other block game, this action would sever all (even if entirely coincidental) ties to it completely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33tmaan Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 I dunno. I'd want some more 'round' blocks so the logs wouldn't stick out as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I'm home this weekend, I'l place some logs down and chisel them to give a better picture of my suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianNumbers Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 There is mod for that already https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/678 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forests are already an issue for medium-low end hardware, and adding logs that are so strictly round would make your framerate come crashing down as soon as you get close to a greened area.

AdrianNumbers Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 Well any attempt at making logs more round will use more polygons so it will always use more hardware resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
