Material Tips:

=Beware=
-
* "diffuse_template_foliage"
+
To test the meshes, material and texture by taking a look on it with the help of [http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/Ogre+Meshy Ogre Meshy]. You have to copy the "material-templates.material" in the same folder.

-
:: Vorteil: Objekt wirft Schatten

:: Nachteil: Objekt hat nicht so schöne Ränder (geeignet für Blumen oder Bäume)

: für Objekte nehmen die Schatten werfen sollen und Alpha-Transparenz haben

:: Vorteil: nicht so rechenintensiv

-
:: Nachteil: nicht so schöne Ränder (daher für alles geeignet das transparenz hat)
