It shouldn't prevent modellers to be careful with texture size. I usually use big textures when modelling to help me position texture coordinates precisely but I reduce them when submitting the model. Anyway, at distance, you only see a reduced texture created by mipmap generation. -Fred _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
