Merging Geosets

[MatiS]

Hello

When I was making my model, I had to create many new geosets to wrap his legs correctly (I wanted to use only in-game textures, so there was no other way). Of course it increased model size. Is there any way to merge two geosets into one without changing wrap (they use same material)? I have magos and mdlvis.

I don't think Geoset gives alot of filesize, not sure tho, Because the Vertex is still the same

tho there is a geoset limit in warcraft, so need to keep it low

You can do it in Mdlvis, but you will need to rerig your stuff

Use Retera's merge geoset tool. But from my point of experience in a human body every section when geomerged reduce an average of 3kb xD

When i work on models i separate them in many geosets but didn't saw the difference in filesize. Maybe it is in something else your filesize growing?

Adding a geoset would add 128 + C*28 bytes, where C is the number of sequences. In other words, it's not a big deal.
Something that does matter is draw calls, because every geoset adds N draw calls, one for each layer in the material it uses.
