Piecemeal Textures
Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2006 7:13 pm
I expect that someone must have asked about this, but I haven't found it in search or in the API. So, sorry in advance if you're a "n00b" hater.
I'd like to place a texture on just part of a model or primitive.
For example, in many RPGs, if your character drops the leather armor and dons chainmail, you want to keep the face, hair, pants etc. but have to change the shirt texture. You wouldn't want to keep a ton of images that represent every conceivable combination of skin, shirt, pants, shoes, etc. so I'm assuming the ability to apply textures piecemeal exists, but I haven't found it.
Thanks in advance.
