OK, in my game that'll be in Showcase soon, I'm planning to have large space-station entities featuring in the first cut-scenes and maybe as scenery outside the station you're in.

Just wondering if they would be less frame rate sucking if they were segment meshes instead?

-=NOTE=-

Oh,yeh. I won't be able to reply too quick 'cos FredP put me on Post-Approval, so I won't be able to reply anytime soon.

I think 'segment' is the way to go if the model (mesh) is not going to be interacted with.

primary difference's i find is
A-Segments can be cut with doors windows buttercutters,ect, and
B-The player can accually take cover behind a segment. If an entity is made to look exactly like a wall the player can still be shot even though he's behind it. So its really a matter of what you need out of the model.
