Texturing While Building Model. Ok ?

[Align]

hi is it ok to texture while you build or should you wait till your (i think its called clay) model is finished? does it effect or eventually effect performance?

Textures (especially high resolution ones) always affect SU performance but you can always go on modelling in monochrome mode (even better because then you can see if incidentally you have some back faces outside).

As for what is the better strategy, it all depends on the model as well as the user/taste. I personally tend to get to a phase where my model is "almost" ready before I start texturing.

thanx man you probably saved me from a future performance headache
