The first thread had problems, so i made another one.

This isn't just right... I mean, i have 2 models, the first has 2000+ polys (skinning/rigging with multiple bones per vertex then animation) but when it's playing/looping in dbpro, it decreases the fps from 100-120 to 10-20. While the other model, which has 10,000+ polys (linking then per object animation) and when it's playing/looping in dbpro, it decreases the fps from 100-120 to 70-90.
I had an earlier model with 1000+ polys and is rigged with just 0/1 weights. But it still decreases the fps dramatically from 100-120 to 30-40.
I can't say this is the fault of the 3d model because most of the 3d games with their characters having 2500+polys are running smoothly in the game.
I'm gonna attach the 3 models to see the differences. (this post has the 2000+ rigged model attached)

Is this a bug of dbpro? If yes, I'll have to put this on the bug report.

Oh yeah, just a little note, the models 2000+polys and 10,000+polys are being used for the puzzle game comp. (Not the usual colorful type puzzle game, huh? It's semi-horror actually...) And i've attached the close-up of the 2000+polys model.

All I can think of is sending an email to mike@TGC - he's their main 3D dude and if you can send him a simple project + the media, he may be able to shed some light on the problem.

Have you tried just animating the model on its own? So that you have the blue background and a animating character and that's it?

I'd try what adr said on the same model with/without rigging/bones etc... to see were your problem lies. Also you might check different formats to see if it help. Also the DirectX SDK (yes I know it's a huge download for one tool) come with a *.x optimizer(it reorder the model for render speed) if that's what your using. Other than that your still back to square one which would be tech support via Mike.

P.S. Excellent models! Do them your self?

Amazing models, truly.

Good luck with your entry; these are probably the best human models I've seen on these forums, and I've seen alot ^_^
