wsxcgy 1960 Posted February 8, 2017 12.5k is a bit much, but shouldn't be too bad. If you want to improve, few areas could be simplified, like perhaps the right side of the receiver, the back of the stock, and the sling rings: things that aren't the most visible and things that aren't very close to the eye.

There are plenty of weapon addons for this game that have face counts >7k in mixed quads and tris in their top LOD for the view Pilot, which is what would roughly equate to 12-14k when fully converted to tris. So this is definitely in the ballpark. Make good LODs and it'll be fine 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PS: put a vert count instead of tri count next time ;) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PS: put a vert count instead of tri count next time ;) It will have attachments in the future :P Optics and muzzle at least. Future models will be heavier in case of polycount,Carabine buttstock and UGL versions will definitely increace this a lot.Vert count is around 8-9k. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberthammer 582 Posted February 9, 2017 Well when you are able to optimize it more on some unnoticeable parts then sure go ahead also something extra for you 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiory 405 Posted February 9, 2017 Just some friendly advice for future HP projects, NGONS are your best friend when working on flat surfaces, don't be afraid to use them, they will save you a lot of time. No one cares about how clean your topology is on the high poly, as long as it looks ok and bakes fine, you'll be good. ;) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
