I was wondering what poly count numbers everybody shoots for...average numbers to worst case scenario.

Thanx,

I don't do as much modeling as I should, but I never really set a number before hand.
Each model ends up whatever it needs to be, but fewer is better of course.
I just try to keep the count at a minimum most of the time, unless I'm in a hurry.

I like to have lots of low poly items in game versus a few high polys.
That is why I use simple billboards for trees, etc.

per level, I make it a goal to never EVER have over 72000 polys rendered at once. that's WAY too much for FPSC.

that's to run on less-powerful computers. my computer has no problem with 300000 polys and 50 enemies at once. just so you know.

The trick is to develop on a low-end machine. That way you know if it runs well on THAT computer, it'll run well on a majority of other peoples' computers as well.

Cool, that's what I was wondering. Because on a demo level I did a scifi theme with alot of cosmic prophets stuff (very good media btw) and I was running about 130000 in some spots. My computer lagged pretty good but it's not built for graphics it's only been used for music, which it did fine....you just need ram. I have never gotten over 17FPS on it's best day.

A timerbased engine helps a bit for this, too. With that installed, 17FPS won't seem AS bad.
