personal challenge for the end of summer: if you’ve got the tools, skills, and/or friends, think about replacing all of your sculpted stairs and windows. mesh replacements will look better and reduce lag.

    Took up your personal challenge. Made mesh chairs and tables to replace my sculpted ones.

    (All the blogs were very helpful)

    Comparision data sculpt vs. mesh.

     

    Sculpt chair:                                                Mesh chair:

    1 prim                                                           1 prim

    1.5 Download                                               0.2 Download

    1.8 Physics                                                    0.8 Physics

    0.5 Server (1.0 scripted)                              0.5 Server (0.8 scripted)

    767 display                                                    394 Display

     

    Mesh LOD was vastly better than sculpt.

      Plus textures on mesh fitted to each part. Sculpt 1 texture wrapped to semi workable state.
