Talk:PVS

How about Perceptible Visleaf Set as it seems to be used for the 'perceptual field' of an NPC ? Also, I get the feeling that PVS includes 'audible' stimuli as well as 'visible' stimuli ? --Beeswax

It's logical that an NPC would only check visibility for entities within its PVS, but that doesn't mean the acronym changes. :-p No need to add another variation. What I will do is update the article to reflect the fact that entities can have PVS too. --TomEdwards 10:50, 27 Feb 2008 (PST)
