yes, as replied in another thread http://www.closier.nl/broomstick/mergetest.html so as you see, you should have no problems with your cubes. Your challenge will be to offset the uv's, that's probably the only "big" thing regarding your Merge generation
this code is in svn (holding one small glitch that I try to fix but svn is down for me atm for some dark reason. Will fix later on) Fabrice On May 11, 2011, at 5:37 PM, Tiago Ling wrote: > Nice work Fabrice. Seems that i won't need to to manually add each face on > the grid.
