I am trying to design a track and would like some advice on which road to go down.
On the one hand i have a track design that pretty much will have less than 6 512x512 textures. I think in the end the polys will be over 512



On the other hand i have a tile based design that will have maybe 100 polys but requires up to 10 512x512 textures and 2 1024x1024 textures


My question is; What is the greater evil? Textures or polys

how about a polyon track with colored vertices/faces?
the track from images looks great but with polygons you have more freedom.
i think you can fill some parts with smaller images, stripe, bushes & trees, tires, barrels,... means 1/4 ; 1/8 square.
in this tile mode i missing a bridge or level.

I've pushed AppGameKit to over 5,000,000 poly... I don't think you need to worry about your poly count any time soon.

Pushing that many to mobile will probably send the whole thing to crawl.

Mobile devices about 3-4 years ago could handle 60K poly, more modern devices can handle around 100-120K.
