UDK Beginner Questions - Collision / Landscape
triangle
So I've been seriously working with the UDK for a bit and I have some questions that the normal UDK forums haven't been able to answer.
The first deals with collision. I am rebuilding an old RtCW map which is very simple, just a collection of BSP walls and doorways.

The collision mesh will invariably have more complexity than the actual mesh itself, so I'm wondering if per-poly collision would actually be simpler and perform better. The problem is that I don't know how much more expensive per-poly collision is than using a collision mesh.
Also, is there a way to generate a collision mesh on such an object? What I have been using is the Solidify modifier in Blender, which works correctly but generates a lot of extra geometry that I have to remove by hand.
The second question is, should I use Landscape over the default terrain? I haven't found any decent tutorials for it.
