Ok please dont tell me that you have to use uv mapping in GE cause ive used materials for all my painting on my meshes! And if so could someone give me a really good tut on uvmapping cause i just cant get it right.
If you don’t fell like learning UV mapping…you can run the “Archimap Uv unwrapper” script in scripts->UV-> archimap uv unwrappper. Then run the texture baker script found in scripts->Uv-> texture baker. This will bake your current material texutres(no spec, probalby no nor…(not sure) ).
are you using sub-serf? if so, the GE doesn’t support sub-surfing. you can ‘bake’ the subsef to a new mesh, but i wouln’t recomend it. it’s better to add more poly’s by hand. you’ll get a better result and you won,t waste any performance.
a game engine tends to need a much lower polygon count than a graphics application. the game engin need to keep recaulculating the effects of gravity, object speed, collitions extra. so extra features are droped.
no mirror, subserfes, and a couple others
the trick of a good game is to uses as few polys in the entire game as possible, to speed up your frame rate.
