Hello all,

I'm about to begin texturing a character for use in WME and I wondered If there's any words of wisdom you can give on this subject.

I understand that the textures need to be a power of 2 but is there anything else? Should I go for as large as possible textures or will there be any performance hit I should be aware of?

Anything other than that?

The larger the more memory they eat up, so you should try to keep them as small as possible. I'm not an expert, but I think 512x512 or 1024x1024 are common values for character textures ... though I don't know if how much bigger textures affect the performance as I only worked with 2d characters so far.

On the other hand, you can design a detailed texture first, if you prefer. It's easy to scale it down later.
