Spring RTS Engine

Seeing as the most ever will be 8 on the screen at one time (nearly impossible) than you could probably boost the poly up to like 8k if you wanted to. It just wouldn't be very lag friendly.

No I mean for a single model. Because in Dungeon Siege (1) a modder was able to put in a 100k polygon humanoid model into the game and have it run. It just lagged really bad and it would only load up into a 1x1 map. Now Dungeon Siege 1 is a very antiquitated engine. But if you can upgrade the graphi...

My models were pawned by infinitely better modellers

Great job on those, I really cannot for the love of god model any remotely humanoid things for some reason.

They come out really crap.

Yeah I understand the gun example is a bad one, but there are very many other guns that happen to have 15k+ polygons. I cannot how ever, seem to find them.

Anyways, is Spring's polycount limit an engine limit? Or is it a Graphic Card Capability limit?

For spring I would consider less then 500 low poly, less then 1000 average, and more then 1000 high poly, but that's simply because the amount of units being rendered on average will FAR surpass that of an FPS, which are what those models are designed for. For an FPS < 2000 tri is low poly. Shogoll...

Looks quite a bit less like the MC to me. Looks more of an HEV Suit/Spartan Armor to me now.

For 976 tris, that's bloody amazing modelling.

You can compare current gen FPSs with next gen RTSs though :D

Supreme Commander's Experimental units have up to 40k polygons at maximum detail.

Yes, it's a very nice and high quality model. It just seems a bit unoriginal though. There are already tons of models every were that look like Halo's MC.

Gyro Bike :D

Honestly for me, 1k is ridicoulously low poly. Not surprisingly, since I usually model for FPSs, were some guns can be up to 40k polies a piece.

Also I don't think the terrain was bumpmapped, though maybe I had wrong settings... Pfft. The terrain is Normal Mapped. Just play with the Highest Settings and a good graphic card. While my GFX card is getting out dated, (Geforce 6800 Ultra) I can run it on maximum Model and Texture detail, medium ...

It is 656 polygons, not sure about triangles, never work with them, I only make models in quads.?

This is what he said.

If it's in 688 Quads, than it's too much for the competition. I think the Quad limit is 510.

The only problem I have with it is the fact that the Smoothing groups look like they've been shot to hell.

Just fix those and I'm happy.

If you think Spring looks similar to SupCom, than you are very wrong. The detail on SupComs stuff at maximum detail with shadows on (Can't run high shadows or 4x AA, only medium shadows) looks beautiful. It's amazing. Though that depends on whether your running a mod that can actually boost all of t...

Help me!

I'm fostering an unhealth love of low poly models with impossible walking animations!

Ah I see, I'm downloading Nano Blobs now. Thanks for the input, I'll modify the rear leg to make more sense now... I'm also working on a second possible entry, which I have no idea what it's going to evolve into. But it will be a strange spider type object, and I have no bloody idea how it can possi...

I think it would move 1 leg forward a bit, than pull the rear leg forward a bit, than move the other frontal leg forward. Than it would pull that frontal leg forward again, than pull the rear leg forward, and than the first frontal leg forward, and so on. This would probably be possible because of t...
