vmap_tesssize

Syntax

vmap_tessSize

Overview

Formely known as just tessSize.

The command controls the tessellation size (how finely a surface is chopped up in to triangles), in game units, of the surface.

This is only applicable to solid brushes, not curves, and is generally only used on surfaces that are flagged with the deformVertexes keyword.

Abuse of this can create a huge number of triangles. This happens during BSP processing, so maps must be reprocessed for changes to take effect.

Note

It can also be used on tesselating surfaces to make sure that tesselations are large, and thus, less costly in terms of triangles created.
