A load/unload block or trigger addition for randomly generated maps.

[frigid pelican]

With a movable outline where you would want the group to generate.

[ivory stone]

What are you think of is called instancing

It would be lovely to have this in the game. And I heavily agree with this

I truly think the next big thing grab needs is instancing

[jovial elm]

what

[wheat depot]

you are very evil

[ivory stone]

You would no longer have to waste complexity on duplicating assets, just make one and have some system to instance it if it’s needed somewhere like a bullet, or trees, or generation like you’ve mentioned

[jovial elm]

what does this even mean

[ivory stone]

That’s what I’m describing

[jovial elm]

just ai generated maps using grab textures and blocks?

[ivory stone]

Not AI

Nothing to do with AI

Instancing is just taking a copy of an already made asset, and is better performance wise because you don’t have to duplicate them yourself

[jovial elm]

Then prefab

[dapper steppe]

Ahhh, so like an array modifier like In blender!

[ivory stone]

Actually yes!

[dapper steppe]

Mmm

[ivory stone]

No that’s not what I’m talking about,

[dapper steppe]

Could be helpfull because I use the array modifier so often in my renders lol

[ivory stone]

Look for a suggestion called “Instantiate blocks”

[ivory stone]

Yea its very good, because the array modifier does make instances of the original

[dapper steppe]

Its great for windows and lights

Like here

[ivory stone]

Is this one of yours? It’s good

[dapper steppe]

Yea its one of mine

I made lots of em

Here's 2 other random ones

[ivory stone]

Ooooo these are neat I love their vibe

[dapper steppe]

Im working on one more weird one

Im just out of ideas

[ivory stone]

I used to be really into blender myself, I was all over that software

I made some pretty cool renders

but eventually I slipped out of it

If you wanna see some of them feel free to DM

heres a good one

[jovial elm]

how are you building them that fast

[ivory stone]

Huh what do you mean?

this is an old render, I made this years ago

[surreal wolf]

Chromemono warhouse reel

[dapper steppe]

I hate you

[surreal wolf]

I know :3

[rich prairie]

but why are you evil

either way, I don't fully understand the suggestion. Can't you just put the group somewhere and have code move it to where it should go?

[ivory stone]

The biggest issue I see with this is the complexity, it would be cool to instance certain groups or objects rather than having duplicates lying around

[rich prairie]

but once instanced they'd still have to cost that complexity

[ivory stone]

I was thinking about that a moment ago

[inland venture]

What if each group was like only 50 complexity???
