It would be nice to have many textures for one terrain, just leaves, tree trunks, broken branches and such. We don't have tree models yet, because we don't have a loader for those anyways so we just forgot all about trees and other objects. Actually things as broken branches should be made as objects (models) so the player could actually pick up them, so there is no point to draw them to be textures. Shortly: You can draw one or more textures for one terrain type, but do not include anything gettable to the textures, or anything big such as fallen trees, tree trunks, but leaves are ok. Initially we don't need to see the actual difference between terrains. In M2 the tree models will be added anyways, so there is no much point kludging it. -- Tommi Leino / Majik 3D project namhas@majik.netti.fi http://majik.netti.fi
