I’m going to make it into Wolfenstein Doom style with extreme minimalism of pixel texture
But geometry seems taking more resources while editing i think, so it feels like it’s stuttering
I think the static mesh that just matched the grid and repeatedly wrote the world coordinate material is better
Am I mistaken? Is there any advantage of geometry for level design
Hey @99st!
So the boon of using geometry for level design goes a lot deeper when you aren’t using simple shapes like this, however there is one big instance of use here:
You grab all of the walls, maybe even the floor. Then in the details window, if they’re all geometry, you get the option of combining them all into one static mesh, reducing draws significantly. Select the centermost piece last, as this will be the anchor.
Of course you can use carving, bezels, negative pieces (they remove geometry, so you could easily make things like holes or doors.
