noob has a few questions

Unity Engine
1

hello,
i have a few questions. (i have just started unity).
•is unity 3 generally going to be the same with more features? or should i wait till unity 3 to start learning?

•whenever i try to import my 500k OBJ file, unity crashes. halp?

•i have a 1-million poly version of the 500k one, is that too much? this is like the ground of the level, its an extremely detailed terrain. so which one should i use?

thanks in advance!

Unity 3 is similar to previous versions so starting now is not a waste of time.

As for the 500k triangle meshes… you need to split them up into smaller pieces that are each 65k or less. The entire 500k tris can be in a sigle file but a single mesh must be less than 65k. Always rendering a 500k terrain would be a waste anyway.

ohh ok thx. that might take me a while O.o

so no mesh can be over 65k. right?
