    Hello,

    My game needs to start out in a full screen GUI.. What would be the best way to do this (taking up the least system resources possible?) Should I just make a GUI layer of 1,1,1 with nothing else behind it? Or should I do something else?

    Thanks-

    Not sure this is what you mean, but we start out with a background image placed as a GUITexture so it can be easily sized to fill the screen.

    Then we use GUI class elements for the GUI. They are not very expensive because their textures are very small.

    We also show just the skybox and one character model with a GUI panel, which also is reasonably fast to load initially.
