	In Response To: Too many portals, I think (ehyto) : I think I understand the rendering difference between Halo and Marathon. : Halo uses less portals to render a scene with it's Binary Space Partitioning : to render order triangles correctly. : Marathon uses more portals with lines that are two sided to render polygons. : Portal traversal is expensive, having less portals is ideal. : If you know how they both work then you'd know how to make a Halathon game. Does the Blam! engine actually use portals between polygons like a BSP or raycasting engine like Forge, Build or id Tech 1? I thought it was all full 3D brushes like Goldsource or Unreal, with the former's ability to load separate map chunks within a single large level.
