Dear Folks
I'm making a small sports game and to reduce the processor workload, i am bakeing shadows on textures using 3D Max. In my game enviornment, there are objects with unique large textures files as well as small texture files that are tiled multiple times. After bakeing, 3D Max generates new texture files by makeing previously tiled textures as unique textures and hence increases the total file count considerably. I mean one instance of texture that was previously used 10 times now has 10 individual files.
Moreover, Textur files that i am using are of different sizes but after texture bakeing, 3dMax converts small texture files into large ones although rest of the canves remains empty. In short my texture dimensions are readjusted and more texture files are generated then i can use in game engine. IS THERE A WAY I COULD BAKE TEXTUES AND MAX WOULD ONLY BAKE SHADOWS ON THE FILES THAT I CURRENTLY HAVE and DO NOT GENERATE THOSE LARGE BAKED FILES IN WHICH REST OF THE CANVES IS UNUSED ?
I am thankful for you going throu this problem and im thankful to you if you could help me with that.
