Hi,

I make a map where the main ambient its a african village, but i make many structures, and my question is that : how acurracy the FPS of map in relation of the number of buildings ?

So, in pratice, if i make all structure of building how Detail (including external walls of a house per sample) the final result is good (or will create a transparent wall when i am so far of wall).

Some screens for best idea of my question:

Well, The more buldings/textures the more it has to draw for the player.So it would make your FPS drop.

If theres any buildings that you cant enter, I would caulk the insides of them, And If your good with vis leaf gruops i would deffinatly add some.

Well, in first idea, this map have 2 or 3 buildings with interior accessible, the major of buildings have only external area to draw (the rest is caulk)

The FPS does not care about buildings. It cares about triangles. Every square face has two triangles. So, less faces = higher FPS.
