Modeling/Art non-related to Amnesia / SOMA

[Ghieri]

i was actually wondering about that, just in terms of exporting something into an actual engine if you have one object but there's more than one body that make it up that aren't necessarily attached (like if i separated the text from the backing) would that cause any issues in terms of how it would show up? like would it still render as one object and act like one object in the engine despite the fact that the polygons aren't connected

i noticed that was the case with some of the models in amnesia like with the detailing on the mansionbase door but i tried to avoid doing it cause i wasn't sure

If you're asking about Amnesia specific questions I'm out, but in general, as long as you exported all of the polygons as part of one mesh, and you properly UV mapped each polygon there shouldn't be a problem. Keep in mind that this is my experience with static entities. I have no idea how it works with bones and animations.
