Magnus Forsberg Wrote:And what will happen if I place a Sticker on top of the textured surface?I think this depends on how it's modeled, if you model the sticker as a special standalone part variant you can (re)optimize the mesh if the sticker is put on top of the part while building the model it will just render on top of it like anything else. And you can also still use the texture extension for details etc.
Speaking of textures. The combination of changing surfaces, colors and textures will immensely complicate rendering implementations. This is the main reason I was hoping to make this new extension part of the existing texture mechanics in the first place.
