Building a room

Post by lucasite »

Hi,

how exactly would one go about building a room. I mean, like walls, ceiling, floor, doors. For example, the DEMO_BSP sample is situated inside a room.
Im not asking for specific code, more just a direction I can go in.

Is it just a case of sticking rectangles together in Blender, then exporting?
In this case, I suppose its fine for one room, but for 20 or 30, in a game level.Is there another preferred method?

Or are there any other tutorials or examples laying around?

If you make your rooms separate meshes.
Or - you could use the dotsceneoctree with one big mesh (it basically chops it up for you).
