Yes, just model them in a 3D model program (anim8or / blender / 3dsmax / wing3d / etc )

and import them. You can make a very low poly bridge that still looks very good.
Good Textures + Low poly object =
Bad Textures + HIgh poly object =

Then collision can be handled with the Nuclear Glory collision DLL.

I hear about nuclear glory every day. And I think I'm still the only person who hasn't tried it yet.

How much is your time worth? Don't underestimate, you are probably worth at least $50 an hour to yourself. So if buying a $15 DLL saves you 10 hours, you are $485 better off.

If this doesn't make sense to you, and you're wondering why you can't get your hands on the $485, think about quality of life and what else you could do in those 10 hours.

I'd pay double for an extra night's sleep.

dont ask, he's just saying that paying someone $15 for a really good final project is better than spending hours to days and days to months on something that will probably never be that great. and if you said that each hour i spend on this is worth $5, then you would end up "spending" well over a $100

I've never used the NG DLL b4 ( I've used the demo's etc ) cos I don't like to use other peoples code, I would prefer to learn from their code, then create my own, but, I can't access their code, so I don't want to know about the DLL.

Just my thoughts.
