1st thing: I need someone who can optimize terrain and outdoor areas.

2nd thing: I need someone who can convert a .obj to .ase and UV them (basically someone with 3DS Max but those who can do it with maya are welcome)

Make sure your terrain height map isn't really high-res when it doesn't need to be. If it is, you should be able to export it and resize it in Photoshop or whatever and make a new terrain with the new heightmap to keep everything basically how it was. Be sure and use the Visibility tool to erase any unseen polygons, and anywhere there's a decently substantial hill, stick an antiportal in there so it occludes stuff on the other side. Don't go overboard on the antiportals though as they can slow down render time as well (though I'm not sure how many it would take).

Will get you a screenshots of the terrain later since im about half way done with the actual structurinng of it (vertex editing etc)


T2A: I think the heightmap is like 64x64. Already did all the visibility. Im not good with antiportals. Thats why Im asking for help.
