OVER-Abundance of Verts in Models (Can Greatly Increase Game Performance)

[syn7572]

So, I've stumbled across a thought of "hey, I use this function for deleting double verticies out of my meshes while I clean up my topology" and thus I decided to do the very quick way in some of the current existing models that I've extracted from the game resources. Here are just 4 of my findings:

The Problem:

I am incapable of extracting the materials, and even if I was able to: I'm unsure what affect it has on the UV maps. Anyone else run into this yet? Or could it perhaps be a poor quality conversion which inefficiently breaks the meshes apart?

If this really is how the meshes originally stand in the game content: this could increase (very roughly given that I've only opened 4 random models out of 4,300 total) overall performance by around 30%.

I know right..........................

Hopefully this will come later but I dont understand why not do it now and then its done. #TFPThings

I agree, it's not hard, just a little time consuming. Slap on some music and have at it lol
