Aug-19-01, 07:11 PM (EST) "Separate vs. Merged Objects" I'm working on a moderately complex bogie shape. From an in-game performance standpoint, are there significant differences between the two following approaches?a) group several separate, easy-to-texture, low poly objects under BOGIE in the hierarchyb) merge separate objects into a single, more complex BOGIE object with more polys due to the points created when merging, and harder to textureI'd like to use a) with about 8 objects per bogie. Would this be bad practice?Thanks for any tips
Clem
