A "mesh" can also be collision, and this page doesn't seem to be talking about the term itself. --TomEdwards 08:53, 2 May 2008 (PDT)

No. In this context a mesh has deformable geometry whereas Collision models are made from rigid hulls. Unlike Meshes, Hulls do not include weightmaps, UV maps or Skins.- see Mesh#Disambiguation --Beeswax 14:53, 2 May 2008 (PDT)

Default mesh / Sub-mesh

I've run some experiments and I don't see the distinction between a "default" reference mesh and a "sub" reference mesh. It's simply a case of what QC command you use when compiling them into a model - not any kind of property of the meshes themselves.

In the same area, "sub-models" are actually entirely different entities, which have naught at all to do with the reference mesh. --TomEdwards 09:19, 2 May 2008 (PDT)
