Hi guys,
I've been playing around with Sprite3d and it's really great! I can load one animated model into the program and generate a bunch of Sprites creating 6 or 7 versions of the same model without adding much to the overhead. My question is this: If I have one animated Md2 file of say 400 - 600 faces and I want to tween it across the stage would it be better(faster/lighter) to display it as a Sprite3D rather than as the actual model/MovieMesh? I know that if I display it as a Sprite3D it will reduce the number of polys in the scene. But I'm also aware that the model will still be animated off stage. So I'm thinking that even though the polys on stage will be reduced I would have the same processing going on and the same graphical data being displayed. I can certainly see if the benefits if I want to display more than one copy of the a model. But what do people think when it comes to displaying just one copy - would it end up being much the same either way or would Sprite3d be significantly more optimized. -I don't know the ins and outs of the Away3d engine well enough to work it out for myself!
