    Other Tip's specifically for PA

    If you work with quads you should convert to tris before export to stop any issues with papatran.exe converting the model to papa...

    Models should be exported as .fbx (Filmbox) as this is the format uber are working with...

    If your making units try to keep the tris count under 500..

    If your making a commander you can use lots of tris, the devs use between 7000-13000 on the current commanders i think..

    I'll post up some more specific help later tonight after my kids go to bed and i have more free time...
