Subject452 Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 I would like to know what the poly limit are for the player models and for the weapons/items in JK2. I myself think the poly limit for player models is around 3500 and for weapons its 1000? can someone confirm this? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabrielXen Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Yeah, I think for sabers the limit is 1000, cause the one I'm working on now was 1070 and it wouldn't let me use it... lol As for the player models, I'm not sure, but I think you're close... -Gabriel- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 As far as I know there is no poly limit (same with previous Q3 games). However, the Q3 engine has a limit of 1024 (IIRC) polys per mesh (or group). I can't remember the maximum number of groups possible, but its large enough that it shouldn't cause problems. If your saber was a single group, this is the likely problem. Really the only limits are pracitical limits i.e Raven recommends 3000 polys as the max, but there is no real issue with going over it slightly.

MacD Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 If you want something to be able to make use of shaders, make sure no entity (object/mesh) has more than 500 vertices. If it has more vertices, shaders won't be able to draw on that mesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subject452 Posted July 31, 2002 Author Share Posted July 31, 2002 The thing is when i load up a weapon model above a 1000 polys it wont showup, everything under 1000 does show up ...... I think a 1000 poly limit really sucks, not for the models i want to make. Is there anyway around this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabrielXen Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Lower the polys and make the skin better...? I've seen some kick ass models that were low-poly, but had awesome skins... Actually, Chrono suggested I do this on one I'm working on now, and I would trust his advice... What kind of models are you wanting to make...? -Gabriel- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only one, that's likely your problem, though I don't know if theres any limitations on weaponary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subject452 Posted July 31, 2002 Author Share Posted July 31, 2002 They are devided into 7 groups, so that cant be the problem, im making realistic weapons, non starwars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
