[MDL ED] Book Cases

[CarnivorousJelly]

If you need the model itself changed, then it will need a 3D-process. I don't know though, perhaps what you're searching for is a compound.

Make a shelf, with your books, and then make it a compound, pressing b. Then, its just like a single model.

Yay compounds! Actually, I'm already using those to arrange the layout of the shelves (although, from my past experiences with compounds, I should really avoid them at all costs). I was just hoping there might be some easy fix to file bloating other than downloading Maya or Zbrush. Thanks for the suggestion though

I don't think your map size is to large (Sure the loading time might varyingly be longer or shorter on different comps.) right now. If you have (I think 6 floors), you will only reach 3-4mb in size when your done.

Well that's a relief (you're right about the floor count, by the way) - I was actually really worried about the amount of lag a larger map would cause. Thanks for clearing that up!

If your gonna go with Decals, try using what is available in the "static_objects>decals" section first.

The actual decals (That apply to any surface) really bloat your map size and I only use those for special cases and very sparingly.

I will definitely keep that in mind. I had to re-do my atrium map because it ended up being 9MB from all the grass decals (oops).
