Blackhawk Polycount (Modeling Question) Created 18 years ago2006-02-22 20:20:10 UTC by v0rt3x

Hey Guys,

quick question from a non-modeler -
need answer from experienced modelers!

Designing a Blackhawk chopper (Exterior / Interior) to be used as a prop in the source engine -

need a good polycount for it to run smooth but still look highly detailed.
Thanx!

Your best bet would be to take a look at the poly counts for a similar model in Source (try the combine choppers). Take the polycount from that as a base figure - you can probably go higher than that without causing too much strive for the engine.

well if this is going to be a nice centerpeice object, then you will want it to be very high. like 8-9 thousand. This includes interior. If it were just exterior or just interior it would be much lower.
