Should You Use CSG to Make Levels? (Godot 4) 

2:44 Just a minor note here. The reason the CSG Boxes cause so much lag is because the polygons have to be recalculated when two CSGs are children of the same CSGCombiner and collide. If the CSG Boxes were to be parented differently (instanced differently under a Node3D, using different combiners, etc.) then they would pose no more overhead than using a Blender Mesh. CSGs are one of Godot's most powerful tools, and I'm glad they're getting the respect they deserve.

I was coincidentally looking for a video explaining the pros and cons of CSG level making! Thank you so much!

Good to know about the performance not being too much of a hit and that you can make hollow blocks... The problem I run into with CSG blocks is editing the UVs becomes a pain as it's only really designed to block out your level and lacks more advanced futures of a level editor, which is why I use Cyclops instead, but every once in a while the Cyclops blocks fail to create proper collision geometry, so I end up using CSG blocks as glue.

Great video as always

If you need, CSG to interact until a specific time, you can use the get_mesh() function to export the mesh data to an other mesh instance once the CSG interactions are finished. Then free the CSG instance.

Can you make a video about godot networking and multiplayer?

0:52 when I do that , nothing happen , why ? And how I can fix that ?

hmmm... didn't realize they slow down performance when moving... maybe that's what's been lagging the platforming levels in my game...

A toilet 🚽 maybe ? 😂

Boolean

you could use qodot but it's kind of a pain to work with
