I am now just about putting the finishing touches on my 'Apartment' project
in the Kitchen section. I have notice I have been using a lot of surfaces
in my project and it is taking up a lot of memory. I was thinking that
I can replace the surfaces with objects where I was image mapping
using a paint program but that adds to my SURFACE list! Oh well,
something has to give. :-/
Just say for instance, I am touching up on my microwave object.
I used a image map of the control panel. But I come to realize that I can
create that as a object as well and to me it looks better!
I would like to here from others (that is what this list for, right?) on
what you all do....which route do you all take?
What I have done is removed a good number of image maps off the objects and
created objects that looks very much like them by hand in MODELER!
Is it better that way or use image mapping? Weird question, huh?
I understand that image mapping is great and to get the closest
to 'real life' look.
My guess: From the looks of it, the object ones look better. Maybe a
little bit 'computized' (sp?) but still good in 'my book.'
Don't be shy, let me know what YOU think.
Thanks for your time.
Good day
Alex
