wanting to do a mine craft type game on a small scale but i still need to create a chunking system to make it work. i have some unanswered questions about meshes. how do i add 100 objects as limbs to a master object then convert the whole thing to a a mesh? and is it worth going through the trouble at all cause a mesh still has all the same data as all the objects does it not? or is it somehow just the outside outline geomeyry? so do i end up with 100 meshes vs a hundred objects using near same memory?
