• Paged Grass Optimalisation
  • grass atm is paged in normal blocks. this of course means that in the distance ( far way ) the grass is way to dense.

  this can be optimised by rendering less grass in the distance wich shouldn't make any difference because we can't see **** anyway at that distance.

  so:                      becomes
  |----------|             \      /
  |          |              \    /
  |          |               \  /
  |----------|                \/

   this means there is less grass actually rendered. Meaning more fps.
