I can't seem to find a way to explain it properly. I'm not baking anything I don't do any of the texture work. Thank you every one for your time in trying to help me it is greatly appreciated. | |

You will have to do a lot of baking to one single image | |

If this was done with cycles rendering for film, or a 2d print this would not be an issue, but this is for a multi player video game. | |

As for my issue I'm having a great deal of difficulty explaining this. The best way I can think of is this. Consider each material a separate mesh, making up a full building. Originally the building was split into parts to aloe for better resolution when the textures were made. This how ever this is proves to use to much resources for real time rendering.So I mush join all the parts and consolidate to one UV map. | |
