they could be nicely formed strips.
or a large glob of indexed mesh.

Just cause they are DTS does not mean they are poly soup.they could be nicely formed strips.
or a large glob of indexed mesh.

All the collision data is polysoup though with DTS :)

even tho it is poly soup, is there not a defined shape for the collision data?
as in some convex hull?

Even though .DIF objects don't necessarily have to be interiors, I'm lazy, so I usually refer to them as interiors.
The same is true for calling .DTS shapes 'static objects' even though they aren't always static. I thought I would try something different when answering Josh's post. Ooops.
Perhaps we need a new set of words to describe this stuff.
Here's a feeble attempt to coin some terms and start a trend . . .
MESHOB - noun - any mesh-based object in a game world that has been modeled with 3DSMax, Maya, Silo, MilkShape, Blender or a similar development tool.
BRUSHOB - noun - any brush-based object in a game world that has been created with QuArK, 3DWS, Hammer, Radiant, Constructor or a similar development tool.
However, if there is an 'authorized' lexicon for game development terminology, maybe someone could point me in the right direction so I won't embarrass my self too much in the future.
Thanks all.
