'''3D-Tile:'''
 +
* Walls/Windows/Stairs etc.: ~12-100 Triangles
 +
* Statues: ~300-1500  Triangles
 +
* Tables/Chests: ~100  Triangles

'''LOD creation rules:'''
 +
Every object above 300 Triangles must have at least two LODs (LOD0 and LOD1) with LOD1 around 150 triangles. 
 +
reduce material IDs. more important than removing polygons is the reduction of material ids on your objects.
 +
Ideally the last LOD has only one render material ID assigned.
 +
The difference in polygons from one LOD to the next step should be around 50% (1200 - 600 - 300).
 +
 
 +
 
 +
'''Textures:'''
 +
* Size: ~512x512 (but can be any Size ... think of using one Texture for more than one 3D-Tile using UVM)
 +
* Format: tga/dds/png
 +
* 24-bit truecolor images with an 8-bit alpha channel
 +
 
 +
 
 +
'''Sample:'''

 +
 
 +
* The Box is 1 Tile size.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Before you export to <i>ogre.mesh</i>, you have to apply:
 +
 +
* 90° X rotation
 +
 
 +
 
 +
'''NOTE:''' Some exporters, such as OgreMax, allow up-axis setting for exporting to mesh file.</i>
 +
 +
* <b>Iris2 uses Z-Axis as "up".</b>
 +
* <b>Ogre default is Y-Axis.</b>

== What Static 3D-Tiles do we need? ==
 +
 
 +
This is the most important Tool for artists to verfiy what is needed and what is already available!
 +
* [[Item Model List]] and [[Walls]]
 +
* [http://ghoulsblade.schattenkind.net/iris/irisarttool/ Iris2 Art Tool] which lists models and how often they occur Ingame.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
'''Furthermore:'''
 +
If you create a directory with the name missing next to the iris binary
 +
(ie. c:\games\iris2\bin\missing )
 +
and put "gDumpMissingModels = true" into you config.lua, iris will dump
 +
every missing art as a png (TILEID.png) into the missing directory
 +
during gameplay or offline mode.
