      oof saw this after my previous comment, i have an idea for a mod or a subnautica 2 idea, what about deep sea mining, you work at a "extractor" when it all goes bad, the substance you were mining affects the animals in the deep slowly creeping into the wholes map, if you dont seal it and discover what happened in time the water becomes toxic and harder to progress. tame animals are now hostile, we could see infected leviathans or creature forms that are scarier to encounter, feel like that would be interesting. thoughts?

    I think the reason the kelp in Subnautica doesn't lag the game out is just because Blender is fundamentally a different engine than Unity or Unreal. It's comically easier to lag Blender out with a model that doesn't hit FPS at all in an engine like Unity/Unreal. So if this does ever end up becoming a mod you don't need to worry about getting rid of the kelp once it ends up in-game

    • @elitubefreemantle2291

    8:49 It's lagging because viewport is rasterizing (I think it's the word?). It's due to how the viewport works. Go into the rendered (Cycles) view and there will barely have any lag.
    Also switch render device from CPU to GPU if you have a compatible GPU (It helps... a lot)
    I'll also assume the kelp is instanced to save on memory and avoid hell placement (If not you should), if so you can switch the original kelp model to be visible as a bounding box (Or a very low poly LOD) to be able to see the scene without performance issue..

    • @Aci_yt
      @Aci_yt  9 месяцев назад +1

      Rendered view has even worse performance, and GPU rendering is not possible because the texture cache exceeds the size of the Dedicated GPU Memory :/

    • @TrueXiarno
      @TrueXiarno 9 месяцев назад +1

      @@Aci_yt Huh. First time I hear that rendered view is even worse.
      And god how much GPU memory do you have? If you have 16GB it should be enough if the scene is well optimized which leads me to believe that the kelp is not instanced.
      Anything that appears many time, like grass & the kelps, should be instanced in one way or another.
      Also yes btw volumetric are performance & memory eaters. I call them volumptious due to that ahah.

    at 8:40 for the lag in the viewport, instead of duplicating the kelp with shift d use alt d because it uses the original data from the first kelp instead of creating more data

    1:29 I’m glad “Neptune” didn’t win, because there’s the Neptune Rocket already in the game. It would be kind’ve redundant. “Hydra” was the best, though “Sidewinder” sounds pretty good. “Boomerang” would’ve been fitting, except that there’s already a Boomerang fish in the game. Again, redundant. “Squid” is just, “meh.” I’m not totally against it, but I’m not for it, either.
