not sure if this is the right forums, if not sorry about that and the accompanied n00b question but i searched all over the global net and cannot find the answers anywhere…

Is it bad to have intersections of at least 6 edges for building models for gaming? I finished a building but someone now tells me that i shouldnt have 6 point intersections. Is this true? Also, I made the roof and windows separate from the walls due to complexity and he tells me they must be unified as a single mesh if i want it used in gaming?? Is this true as well??

PLease help me i spent alot of time on this project only to have it uBer-DeNied :( !!

Hi,

Every game engine has it’s own limitations and drawbacks, so it is always best to create something with that in mind. However from a technical standpoint, both issues can be easily corrected. In Maya, you can select your window and wall then go to Mesh -> Combine to make it on object. For objects with more then 4 faces, that can be fixed by going to Cleanup -> Fix By Tessellation -> Faces with more then 4 sides. Similar processes are available in Max.

With that said, I don’t see any problems with what you have described. Your best bet is to grab an engine and try it out!

Best Regards,
