Poly's and such

Hiya!

i was just wondering if the game engine will render poly's that are being covered up by another model. Like i'm having a character wearing armor, so will his chest still be rendered even though you can't see it under the armor?

Yup.

you would need to work on occlusion culling to rectify this.

Or if you're using the mesh hiding resource,
have one mesh be chest
and another replacement mesh be chest w/ armour,
which actually has just deleted the unseen polys.
