VaM 1.x too many buttons?

[eberkey]

I'm my personal sandbox scene, is there much of an issue with having too many buttons? I could do tricks with presets to avoid having more atoms but was just wondering if 100s of button atoms would be a problem or don't sweat it & button away.

Yes. Each atom has an overhead. I measured immediate effect on the scene performances above 40 UI elements. And even simpler: a single atom has overhead. Multiplying atoms has a cost and you need to make choices if you don't want to strain the scene. And beyond that, managing a UI with 100's of buttons through atoms is a nightmare at that scale.

Take a look at VAMStory, it can generate a whole UI on a single atom.

Thanks for the reply and all you do!
