[Lightbringer-devel] BoL - Polygons

[stephen t. <stu...@ya...>]

Well like i mentioned this is only a rough guide. :)
Thanks for the feed back, this is the kind of thing we
need to know.

Not all linux users have top end machines, for example
my linux box only has a 700Mhz processor with a Nvidia
TNT 2 (32mb) card. Talk about slow. :)

If possible, i think it would be better to use
skeletal base over a mesh base. As these work faster,
if this viable with CS?

Cheers,
Steve
