  | | | bsp tweaking and volume effects | bsp tweaking and volume effects 2005-07-06 - By Andi Farhall
Back I know nothing about binary space partitioning so this is a stab in the dark really..... but could tweaking the bsp settings have much effect on volume effects? I've nothing in my scene bar a semi transparent plate and a big volume light casting shadows - stained glass window style. I've got to set the ray-marching steps quite low but it's taking a couple of hours plus per frame which is unacceptable so...
Any ideas?
