Multiple Cinimatics

<div class="IPBDescription">Will it hamper framerate?</div>I was trying to duplicate cold pipes behind a service panel and found that steam cinimatic was the best looking for this.

Will having five cinimatics close together kill framerate in that area?

I did this:

to get this result:

copy paste 50 of those and tell us what happens.

So i got some time to play around with framerate and cinimatics and ran 12 cinimatics along with 3 Ambient sounds, 15 lights (Shadowing on) and almost no props.

The result was promising as i only experienced about 2fps drop when placing all 12 cinimatics in VIS witch is far less than what i experienced with dynamic props.
