We should have a forest object, just a large amount of trees in one object so that it doesn't kill framerate and object count

 

You're better off:
1) taking pictures of assets already in the game
2) just making one big post that you send to him instead of filling up his notification tab

wtf hahaha

0-100 real quick

 

im thinking of my new map and what could be added to the list

 

Hopefully no. 343's involvement in the last contest was just a whole shitstorm that we don't need to deal with again.

 

What does this have to do with Forge team adding assets to the game? Me is confused.

 

That’s not how it works.

 

I seriously imagine your avatar saying everything you type. Just FYI. It makes it funnier.

 

Definitely those "trees" from Genesis in the campaign.

 

I don't think you really understood my suggestion. Having multiple objects on the screen at once would kill framerate worse than having one object, even if it shows the same thing. For example, having a rock arrangement on the screen is better than using multiple rocks and boulders. Tree "arrangements" would do the same thing.

 

What matters is polygons (and FX, but that’s not relevant here). The reason that the rock arrangement is better is that there are fewer polygons than multiple rocks and boulders, partially because there are less wasted polygons where the rocks intercept/go underground. There’s no way to optimize for polygons with a forest piece without making the trees low quality.
