I have a question about memory use in openGl in relation to textures, which has a bigger impact on memory the size of a texture or the number of textures. For instance I have an object that is can exist in four states each state has its own 64x64 texture, would it be more memory effiecent to combine the 4 textures into a larger 128x128 texuture? Or would that take more resouces then the the four seperate? ----------------------------------------------------- "Fate and Destiny only give you the opportunity the rest you have to do on your own." Current Design project: Ambitions Slave

loading more textures would take longer then loading less, and I would think, although I don''t know, that it would be more memory efficeint just having one texture.

Havign one texture is better, avoids changing the texture, which is somewhat expensive, if done very often.
