FYI, I am working on different methods and combinations of methods to decrease the number of polygons when rendering
Datsville (or parts of).
For example, to replace all bricks, plates, and tiles with boxes where it was possible, helped cutting down the POVray
rendering time with 63% in my pilot model. The disadvantage of this method is that I had to manually decide what parts
could be replaced. It takes some time...
Another method I'm thinking of is to deselect objects behind the camera (those that do not cast shadows on any object in
sight). This is also a manual decision, I'm afaraid...
Now I'll have to go back to work. It's getting fun now!

| (...) Yeah, but in the model creation process, no real time would be lost. If an automaitic utility were created to aid in the building process that would, say, ask for the requested element size, you could make a ttore brick that's 15 x 15 x 1, or (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)
