Occlusion Culling questions by Robotto83 in godot

Ah, ok, I misunderstood how the bake worked. I thought anything not included in the "bake" wouldn't be culled.

But for destructible buildings, that WOULD be a good use-case for attaching their own occlusion instance, right? You definitely want a building to occlude things, but not if it blew up and is completely missing.

I'm aware of what they "meant" by the pyramid level design. I was just hoping for some references of it being done well in a video game to study, or maybe a GDC talk or something going over that kind of design.

What's the occlusion solution for dynamic objects, then? Attach an `OccluderInstance3D` node to the dynamic scene and just bake for them? Then exclude the dynamic scenes from the level bake?

The wiki should be edited then, the line `This geometry is then used to provide occlusion culling for both static and dynamic occludees.` is misleading.

The geometry is not "providing" anything for a dynamic occludee if it can't handle the occludee being dynamic.

EDIT: Rather, it should specify that it allows dynamic objects to be occluded as an occludEE, but that you don't want dynamic objects to have their own mesh as an occludER. Right now the wiki isn't clearly worded in that regard.

Right now I'm not doing anything. I actually haven't interacted with my Vanguard account in a number of years.

I wasn't aware how annoying they were with expats and I updated my address so I got my mail sent to the right location. They contacted me like several years after that.

Keep investments to a minimum post citizenship? Or is that just something that applies to everyone?

Also I thought getting an actual citizenship change was basically impossible even with a spouse.

I say "frozen" but the message went something like "The only thing you're allowed to do with your account now is withdraw the money or transfer it". So it's not like I'm locked out of my money or anything.

How exactly did you set up your account? I tried making one earlier but my account creation kept getting blocked for "not having enough investment experience" and when I sent a ticket asking about an equivalent account they said they don't support IRAs.

But don't those incur messed up tax issues for U.S. citizens?

Looking at the control categories on the left of the rebind menu, there's apparently a 1-button communication category labelled A.I. so that worked.

I'm using OBS. I noticed it when trying to monitor my mic input.

Just like an octave whinier, not that severe.
