An object with no render, but with a texture.

[Legacy_dusty.lane]

               I am working on a new weapon, and I made a super simplified version of said weapon, for its shadow, so I won't have the super simple version render. BUT! I wonder, it has a large texture on it, so would that mean if I left the texture on the shadow model, that does NOT render, would it cause any extra lag? <>< or="" would="" it="" just="" disregard="" it="" because="" it's="" set="" to="" not="" render?="" trying="" to="" figure="" out="" how="" to="" remove="" a="" texture,="" but="" not="" figuring="" such="" out="" very="" easily.="">

               If its the same texture there's no issue, since it'll only be in memory once and if it's not rendered then it won't be sampled.

FYI, you can remove a texture completely if you open the model in notepad, find the "bitmap" field and switch it from your texture filename to 'none' or similar.

               put null in the bitmap field.

               would blank work as well? or **** ? I know those are seen in places, but I am not sure how it would work for a mdl.. I guess 'none' works, but cool!

@henesua,

oh okay.. more answers! Thanks both of you!

               Have you ever tried calling a texture null.tga? It's fun : p

Edit: to clarify the point of this post, neither null or none are special values - there just conveniently isn't any texture with those filenames in. Any name that isn't a valid texture will work.
