Hi ,
I am actually creating a level using constructor as a base and adding 3dsmax props.Actually I am using the old TGEA 1.8.The things is when I have dif objects without normal map it does not lag.But when I add props,it begins to lag.Even when the player camera does not look at dif/dts objects it still lags.I have to go far way to another terrain/datablcok with nothing and it stopd loagging.Is there a way out.Usually other engines can handles alot of props.Mine is only 4,000 tri's so far.The system would die out if I add more tri objects.
Since this engine has been around long is there a solution.Even in the video that I have it lags.http://www.coroflot.com/nutshell/TORQUE-DEMO-LEVEL

Also, look for degenerate triangles (very long, thin faces) and eliminate them wherever you can.

Something to look at is the size and format of your textures. You should try to keep textures fairly small (512x512 x 4 bytes (32 bits) is a little over a megabyte) and convert to .dds whenever possible.Also, look for degenerate triangles (very long, thin faces) and eliminate them wherever you can.
