We did a decent sized GMAP and, if I recall correctly, it accounted for less than 1MB of images

Though I'm sure this could be easily done level-wise by simply making a mask of the walls and making it block, while having the rest of the images not block...
One of the main reasons I've ended up using "level images" is because Graal's light engine is ****.
