Title: Character textures questions.
Post by: Razorback on February 18, 2007, 01:13:33 AM

Is there any significant performance advantage to keeping all the textures from a single character on 1 texture file?
Right now I've UV mapped my character from head to toe, but I saved separate texture maps for individual body parts. 7 files in all.

Five 256x256 and two 512x512 jpegs. I've tested it on WME and it works fine with steady 60fps. But of course I plan on having more characters on screen in the future so I'd like to know from people with more experience if there's anything wrong with the way I did things.

This IMO doesn't have any performance drop since the character is constructed anyway as the whole thing and the texture division is used only while WME loads character.

Thanks for the reply, that's great news.
