hey,
I start to model again in my free time. I know I should do my AI pack and my lightray pack, but not to get boared, I model something.

So my question is. What is better: flat(square)models or triangulated models? What use the better modelers? I read that game engines always need triangulated models, because they can better caculate with them. Is that true?

Thanks in advance

you should use triangulated models. i don't think FPSC can handle quads.

When you export your model to .x it will triangulate your model from quads.

I don't trip over...I do random gravity checks.
