Ok well ive made 2 maps which were quite successful and worked fairly well.

For my next map id like to make a larger map but i want to use a uvw unwrap. I know how to do this but im not sure how big to make the uvw map for best results.

Question 1 :What kind of ratio of map size to the uvw map size need to be?

Question 2 : Can i tessalate my surfaces more then the 512 I've been doing for my small maps.

Thanks

When u say use about the texture size,

I was meaning how big should a uvw unwrap be, as with this you paint on the whole texture in photoshop. So its not like i would be making seperate grass texture then a cliff texture.

See what i mean?

That would not be a smart idea. You would still need multiple Materials for the cliffs and the ground (assuming the ground is not all grass or dirt or... ...but a blend of all of them)

and in the end, you get grass that sounds like rock when you melee/walk on it... if you set the rock to a stone material type in guerrilla. I suggest you plane model the cliffs in a fashion that allows you to use different textures...

edit: so you use tesselate... dont tell me you are

1. vertex moving to make maps

and/or

2. Displacement mapping your maps

because those maps are usually fail right then and there... usually.
