Author Topic: High Facecount models (Read 671 times)

Can somebody give me a starting point to the highest amount of faces (triangles) a model can have without being too high in faces? I have 3 models with 156, 192, and 152 triangles. Are any of them too high?

No those are quite low.

The funny thing is I could cut the face count in half easily if I wanted to. I just put a curved end on the handle.

Most people would agree that 150-600 faces for a gun is great. 1000 is still fine.
Vehicles up to 3000 faces, depending on level of detail
For simple RPG items, which I suspect you are doing, you don't really need a lot of faces, so you are right on.

If you can, do it.

If you want to be a good modeler, you need to reach your optimum visual quality : poly count ratio

exactly.

The lower the face count the better. Especially with all the crappy laptop graphics cards that people use to run blockland.
