I would suggest to have them on as default (so that people are aware that they are there) but set to a low default density (0.2 or so) (so that there are no really bad framerate and/or memory issues). Does thay sound like a plan? > Would some of the textures also be applicable to the Caribbean? Yes, I guess the theme 'volcanic tropical island' is fairly generic and would also fit, say, parts of Indonesia really well. As I said earlier, I see gathering textures as assembling something like a toolkit - we don't really want new textures for every region, we just want to get the mix right for various regions. If anyone is interested in defining yet more regions, feel free! > I wonder whether we should set the regions/materials.xml as the > default in preferences.xml?

I certainly prefer the regional pack, but I'm hardly objective... * Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
