BenHenry : allright thanks next group of models I will try make them floaters and see how it goes yeah they called lightmaps dont know why I said shadoooowmaps! :P I'm must going insane.
Naw man, make all of the pieces floaters. It'll save you a bunch of time. Also, "shadowmaps" (which are actually called lightmaps), work entirely different than you think they do. Do some research, and you'll figure it out.
