Hello developers!
In this period I have done a very big build, I present to you:
The Milan Cathedral
→ It’s not finished, actually WIP
→ If you like it, please leave a 
→ Please leave a feedback or advise to make me improve it!

Thank you!

It looks really good, however 83k parts is way too much considering that it’s WIP. I Suggest you union parts that the player has no interaction with and is purely for decoration reasons.
Unions won’t make much of a difference in terms of performance, it may seem that unioning may help as it reduces part count, but the amount of polygons stays the same.
Sick build by the way, would suggest filling in the empty wall space in front of the cathedral with some sort of symmetric pattern, if you can afford to use some more parts of course.
Do not do this. Union only makes it worse. Period. what you could do is import it into blender and manually bollean combine them. Unions have there place but they are NEVER used for optimization. Unions just add more information rather than less. What you should do is group together these parts rather than unioning them. Unions are uncontrolled and add unnecessary polys
The poly count actually doesnt stay the same. It increases making it worse. Read above ^^^
The point you made is true, however it doesn’t always increase polygon count, it all varies on how complicated whatever you’re unioning is.
this is also true, but there’s no way of knowing what its done unless you export each individual union from the entire build, go into a 3d software such as Blender or Maya, and view the topology. This is why it is always best to do large builds within a 3d software because there you can control the topology and poly count as you create it.
Ohh I see, had no Idea about it, thanks.
Is there any other way to optimize places with high amount of parts?
