now that we now it's about textures we should test multi-textured objects with low polygons....is it better if we compress to .dds on export?

hmm, well i was thinking that....

maybe more people should start to learn UVW Unwrap, because if its the amount of textures, then UVW Unwrap is the best due to it being 1 texture that has lots of other textures in it.

it would make it harder for the modder/mapper but it would create less lag and higher FPS theoreticaly.

i could be wrong......

I don't think it's the texture mapping, it's the amount of materials. Each new material makes it slower. Really though, nothing can be done to change that, since most of the materials are buffered around base areas. Just don't use lots of materials near bases perhaps. I also think WWSkin objects slow it down though.

After more testing, it seems that polygons with standard UVW coordinates for texture mapping take about twice as much power as unmapped polygons. Viewed a 10K poly map I'm making in W3D Viewer, and without mapping, the clock rate hovered around 500, and with mapping, 1000.

now what if it was a solid colored material compared to a multi colered material?

should be 0 difference... as it still has to load it, unless the file is like 900k vs 10k
