Description
Scene is comprised of three individual mesh sections, each having a single Material applied. Images are assigned to the materials via a Texture slot. There are three or four image Stages per Texture/Material depending on the function/purpose of the Material, these typically include a "colour" or "diffuse" map, a grayscale "specular" highlights map, an RGB "normal" map and a "displacement" map (grayscale). N.B. the normal map is based on "Tangent" space with an inverted ‘green’ channel – depending on requirements this may need to be ‘reverted’ (Blenders GLSL mode doesn’t invert this channel for example, so normals appear backwards. To correct invert either the "green" or "red" channels in an image editor).
Collision
There are no separate collision objects within the scene so each item will need to be treated ‘as is’, or collisions hulls may need to be made depending on requirements.
