The New Great Forest

[Ashtyn]

So I spent the last couple of days making new, better trees for Lismore, and now that they are made, I installed them in place of our old trees on the Great Forest level of the sim.

Here's the hard data, to show how much it matters to re-do aging areas of the sim with the new, current technologies:
(smaller numbers are better!)

Old Forest:
  330 prims
  600.5 Download
  552.8 Physics
  187.3 Server
  1481928 Display
  2446 vertices per tree
  2640K of memory (on the leaves script)


New Forest:
  230 Land Impact (173 prims (LI is higher because LL hates sculpties))
  239.5 Download
  19.9 Physics
  103.3 Server
  815685 Display
  590.5 vertices per tree
  287K of memory (on the leaves script)

The old forest was 165 trees. The new forest is 230 trees (here higher numbers are better).

Theoretically, the new forest should be easier for both the server and your viewer to render!


The trees on the ground level will be replaced after Sunday's event. They will catch fire, and burn. Burn! BURN! MUHAHAHAH! ...ok, I need sleep. See you folks around!

And continuing on the data boasting regarding my new trees, here are the stats of the trees replacing those on the peninsula on the ground level:
(smaller numbers are better!)

Old Trees:
  48 Prims
  92 Download
  93.7 Physics
  26.1 Server
  186823 Display
  336K of memory (on the leaves script)


New Trees:
  29 Prims (48 LandImpact)
  48.1 Download
  3.7 Physics
  17.8 Server
  126133 Dispplay
  44K of memory (on the leaves script)


There were 22 trees on the old configuration.
There are 36 trees on the new configuration.

*claps clap claps* very impressive! *plants mushroom all around utilizing the extra prims saved*

And the final phase of the trees replacement process is complete! The ground level now has new trees. And here are the stats:
(smaller numbers are better!)

Old Trees:
  86 Prims
  172 Download
  158.2 Physics
  50 Server
  359172 Display
  435K of memory (on the leaves script)


New Trees:
  43 Prims (64 Land Impact)
  64.7 Download
  4.0 Physics
  25.5 Server
  186536 Display
  86K of memory (on the leaves script)


There were 43 trees on the old configuration.
There are 64 trees on the new configuration.
