But probably not for A7 - the A7 kernel is not very well suited for this. Big Thanks, that's one small new feature for the Engine, but a giant leap for Game Designers and I wait impatiently for A8 now Originally Posted By: Nowherebrain ...Do not get me wrong....I want I want.

I am a one man show, I have no time to detail paint everything, model everything, and code everything(I know what mega-textures are)so, to me streaming textures and levels are far more interesting.

Caus even today not lot of people create very detailled levels with very detailled textures already ! So why asking more power if you can't even today make very good textures in an AAA looking game ? Just my personnal thoughts ! Yeah i prefer the planned Streamming textures to avoid the memory limits ! Just do It !! http://independentcreator.over-blog.com/pages/3D_Models-7792999.html
