Portals?

by FruitBatInShades · in Artist Corner · 08/27/2004 (8:56 am) · 3 replies

Is it worth putting portals in when the zone shares a brush that makes up the back wall? I used 1 brush for the outer wall and multiple inner brushes for walls. Would putting a portal there improve performance or will it make no difference because of the large brush? I have a lot of detail polys (tables etc)

The brush may be shared in Quark, but once compiled into .dif the faces are cut where other brushes touch or intersect.
Like I see it in your image it would indeed be worth putting a portal there.
And Joseph is right, the portal like its on the pic won't work.
