[TIP] Use 2-Sided Planes over the 10x10 Plane when possible

Hey all, I just wanted to share a tip after inadvertently discovering that I've been using the wrong type of plane for one of my projects, which has been causing my world vertex count to be higher than I expected.

Here's a screenshot of what the 2-sided plane vs the 10x10 plane looks like in wireframe mode.


Use the 2 sided plane to keep that World Vertex Count down!

Depending on how big you're scaling this, the lighting will cast differently across the two planes. If you need detailed lighting, you're going to need more vertexes.
