In addition to the visible texture, each tile had a lower resolution bitmap which defined the material at a given spot. I got rid of that and switched to a polygon based approach which plugs into Box2D. Material polygons are created as invisible objects in Blender and exported into the game.

It made sense to me that lower polygon models and mostly solid color textures would make things easier when the time comes to tackle optimization. Availability of compatible models and performance. With Dungeons & Kingdoms being my first game I was aware of performance concerns.

In cases where a lot of objects need to be drawn, having them all share the same texture (or material) may reduce draw calls or state changes. When working on tile-sets, it's normal to have everything already drawn to a single texture but if the level uses a lot of separate images, then using an atlas may make sense to improve performance.

Soon we found we can combine Mesh Shaders with auto-generated LODs to achieve almost only-resolution-relevant rendering complexity, instead of polygon number. With such detailed models, large texture resolution is a must. We will pay more attention to texture loading or streaming. And we decided to try it out.

  Some very basic tips: Rather be sure how much polygons you need before-hands and keep it as low as possible. The polygon reduction object from Cinema4D does not reduce the polygon count effectively. So, I started to remodel some meshes in Cinema4D, my prefered 3D modelling software.   And it has just twelve vertices.
