Does NoDraw block VIS??

[Shinobi]

Does covering large BSP blocking brushes with the nodraw texture let them block vis? or should I cover them witha low resolution texture scaled way up?

the brushes are covered with displacements so you never see them, I just want them to block vis

One of the main mapper rule is : ALWAYS paint any side not seen by player in game with "NODRAW" and it dosn't leak, no.

Yes, nodraw blocks vis. Always stick nodraw brushes underneath your displacements.

ALWAYS paint any side not seen by player in game with "NODRAW"

Excepting those faces that touch the void or other faces on the same entity (worldspawn included).

Then it really doesn't matter
