I suppose so. Any object with tons of polys will do that.

That's why I'm wondering why you don't use an Aces High terrain generator to form your island. A tiny island surrounded by water should be easy for the AH engine to create and render, and your only problem then would be making custom terrain tiles for it. And that's a 2D art problem, not a 3D problem.

I imagine that "objects" in Aces High would mean planes, vehicles, guns, ships, buildings and structures like bridges, dams and such. I wouldn't think the "object" class pertains to anything as large as an island or land mass.
