Hi there is a stock map with nice backgrounds in a nucular powerplant..

how are the backgrounds done?

Are they just scene objects that are pasted to "behind everything" when the map is first made?

if so, what is the limmits on background images? I am thinking of doing a 1280X1024 image of a forest... (complete with underground tunnels and base interriors)

am I going to get a major preformance hit? is it better to make the backgrounds with many smaller tiles/objects rather than one big image?

TIA for any help on this :)

also Thanks to all those who have posted tutorials in the past... I was able to learn most soldat mapping in and afternoon 8)

nice community :)

Have a good day everyone :)
