Texture mapping

[Roland Melkert]

By the way, I also have another question : lets say you put the parts on the tracker, would I be able to "overwrite" them with ldraw geometry only? Is vector based patterns "better" than texture mapped ones?

Just my 2cts:

For flat surfaces LDraw geo should be 'better' unless it generates a billion polygons.
For curved surfaces (minifig heads etc) textures are 99% of the time better as it prevents the 'crumbled paper' effect when doing smoothing.
