+Opengate blender style
+----------------------
+
+Opengate uses Blender for several 3D models which will be transformed into
+images to be shown in the game. Since blender supports saving the workspace
+layout with the 3D model, opengate uses a common standard for how the default
+layout should look like.
+
+
+User Interface:
+The main window should be the 3D view (preferred in perspective and not
+orthogonal view). In the lower part normally object preferences or render
+should be shown. It is also ok to have the outline editor or the image editor
+in the right part of the main user interface.
+
+
+Rendering:
+The values for rendering shoud be "safe". This mean that the size of the
+rednered image should be below 1024x768 and the default setting should be
+to render it to the image window.
+
+File size:
+Models may not exceed the size of 500KB untextured and 4MB textured. Everything
+else cannot be accepted. It is also recommend to compress the file (Select
+"File"->"Compress File"), but the filesizes count for uncompressed files.
+
+Modifiers:
+Make use of blenders modifieres whereever possible or reasonable. Especially
+static subsurfing polygons is highly discouraged, it is much better to use the
+subsurface-modifierer. Also cloning objects should be done using the
+array-modifier (see the blender manual for details, especially the section
+about the "Empty"-object is pretty helpful).
+
+
+Please obey all these rules. If any files are found withing SVN that do not
+obey these rules, they will most likely be replaced or dropped if the heavily
+violate these rules.
