What do you get for a poly count when making outdoor levels? What is considered a low poly for the whole outdoor level?

outdoor levels with advanced terrain can go up to 70k but culling helps. 10k is an average indoor level size. depends on the level of realism...

if you mean polycount onscreen at anytime then anything around 10k should be fine if you have lots of lod and optimizations then 10k can make some very nice maps.

Halowed are the ori.

Instead of making it out of cubes try making it out of rectangle plains and it will fly! Look at my image and please crown me the low poly king hehehehe!

Here's my huge castle made out of 178 polys and its running at just under 60fps on a 1.2Ghz laptop with a 4 year old Intel graphics chip >.< Dont laugh!



Damn how do you get images to appear in your posts!

Im using DeleD lite for the editor (coz its free) but it cant do light maps. Does anyone know of a free light map tool?

I don't know about outdoor levels, but I always keep my indoorlevels under 10k to be safe polywise.

Hehe... You could get yourself 3D Studio Max 8 - it has built in stair creation (straight stairs, L-type stairs, Spiral stairs etc.!) Cool!

Is probably a bit pricey though :-(
