Post by: morris13 on May 05, 2001, 01:59:00 pm: So if you wanted a 2000 poly destroyer you'd have to use different subobjects for the hull? I thought Bobbaou said that was BAD. =P

Post by: Setekh on May 05, 2001, 08:17:00 pm: IIRC, the Colossus was ~1200 polys, and the Sathanas was ~1100.

Yes Morris, you'd need different subobjects if you wanted that many polys. But lots of subobjects is a Bad Thing[tm], which is why people prefer to just stick below the poly limit.

Post by: Jabu on May 06, 2001, 07:44:00 am: Basically, as long as the main hull is kept under the 800 poly limit, it's fine. The turrets are bound to take a few hundred polys if there's lots of them.
