cadmium77 16 Posted August 23, 2009 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2494/3846640341_84076d4d2d_b.jpg How many polygons can I get up to...I'm around 3300 right now. The body won't be anywhere near as detailed as the turret ... http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2579/3844237206_bc84131150_b.jpg If anybody is doing a mod for the IDF back in the late sixties early seventies then I'll make this model available to you; it's the British Centurion modified by SA and Israel. The Israelis called it the Sho't Kal. Same thing with a few minor differences. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3434/3846674327_93e0f703f1_b.jpg And I'm not strictly following those blueprint drawings since they are not correct even between the different views. I'm also going from photos... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W0lle 1050 Posted August 23, 2009 That's cool, really. But I guess it's enough if you tell us this in one thread. :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PuFu 4600 Posted August 23, 2009 looking pretty good, but you shoul dhave posted here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=74243 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MehMan 0 Posted August 23, 2009 Err, the turret itself has 5000 triangles right now, so where's the 3300 polies? When you say polies, you should mean triangles, because that's how games render polygons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abs 2 Posted August 23, 2009 Just out of curiousity, can you right click the model, and then transform it into a mesh? I'm wondering what the poly count will be then. Also, if I'm not mistaken, you can't have curved faces in o2. It looks like you're using nurbs? Abs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[xdf]kanga 0 Posted August 23, 2009 I would say hes just using Mayas poly smooth preview. Cant be used in game, if you press 1 on your keyboard Cadmium you will see how it looks in game. He may how ever be working on a high poly turret which will be baked down on to a low poly version, or plan on using mesh smooth how ever it would significantly raise the poly count Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogdanm 0 Posted August 23, 2009 How many polygons can I get up to...I'm around 3300 right now. So does anybody know the answer to his question? I'm not a modder so my answer may be wrong but I think you should keep the model between 15k-20k polies/triangles(don't know exactly which one). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PuFu 4600 Posted August 23, 2009 has been answered before....it depends on the model, but 20k is a bit much. Around 12k, max 15k would do. Also, as said before in one of the ArmA1 modeling discussions, Sections are more important that ploycount. AFAIk, 20k is the max ArmA engine would support. It doesn't mean you should aim for that though. The fewer the better @bogdanM, out of my own curiosity, where are you from? - it has nothing to do with the subject Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MehMan 0 Posted August 23, 2009 32k! It's all down to the power of 2, so 2^15 = 32768. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PuFu 4600 Posted August 23, 2009 32k! It's all down to the power of 2, so 2^15 = 32768. my bad then. Still 32k is.....well.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cadmium77 16 Posted September 6, 2009 Hmm...now I'm worried...we'll see how this works out.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nosedive 10 Posted September 6, 2009 32k! It's all down to the power of 2, so 2^15 = 32768. I'm intrigued, and for the purpose of education, i ask if you could please explain the basis of the maths here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
