Fast Parts: Rendering Moving Parts 4-5x Faster in ROBLOX

- January 24, 2013

 

With the recent release of featherweight parts they drastically lightened the load, so to speak, of objects in the ROBLOX graphics pipeline. In an effort to continue down this path, they’re developing a system that can switch between featherweight and non-featherweight parts on the fly, in real time. They like to keep things simple around here, so they’ve elected to call them fast parts.

Why would you want to be able to switch? What are the benefits? What type of hardware will be able to handle these new parts? These and many other questions will NOT be answered in this article.

Some of my own pictures:
