Muralist :
No Blocks are really a lot more slow than models , if you don't need
lightmapping or only need baked textures for some parts of your level ,
use MDLs the FPS will be a lot greater.
a lot of people already know that MDL are faster than blocks here.
Yhe new octree system will allow you to use models for your levels and WED
will do the lightmapping on them. It will be great and it will be released.

Well , let's return to the shader discussion, yes i hope ot find V2 shaders one day
for this great lightning pack.
