Author	Topic: Texture question. How many tiff's is to many??
Razer Pilot	posted 07-17- 10:25 AM I've been working on the mapping of the P-39 and i've been wondering, how many tiff's is to many? I want to do a nice high res scheme for it but i've already filled 3 tiff's and i could use another since i'm running out of space. Since it's just a fighter, should i not use more then 3? ------------------ Tony "Razer" Martin http://www.fshangar.com IP: Logged
Laika 801 Pilot	posted 07-17- 12:08 PM I would say 3 is "maximum" for outside - I used 3 for the Pe2, but some inside parts are also on the 3 256x256 sized tiff files. LK IP: Logged

Razer Pilot	posted 07-17- 06:13 PM I have 3 256x256 textures right now. 1 for each wing and tail and then one for the fuse with prop , spinner , wheels and a few little things on it. But right now the horazonal stabs are mirrored and you can't paint the bottom different then the top, which will need to be changed before release. But right now i have very little room on the fuse tiff to add that. It's a really nice texture and i figured i could just add the bottom of the tails on a 80x80 tiff later. Any more idea's? ------------------ Tony "Razer" Martin http://www.fshangar.com IP: Logged
JT Pilot	posted 07-18- 12:51 AM Hiya, Dan and I got away with 2 tifs for the exterior of the P-47, but we had to break up a lot of the textures into parts... this meant we had to deal with some pretty hairy texture mapping situations. IP: Logged
