Not really considering i got it to work. ;p. It's fine it exported fine just its not animated which i am gonna do. I'm fixing a few problems with the flash-light. its being a whore! keeps flickering whe its psawns. it like flickers every 2 seconds. So i fixed that issue, I maay release the tags when im done in this thread..no wait has to be done in the releae forum anyway.

Here's an idea.. Maybe this isn't source.Quote:
I've seen a SPAS with almost as many polies make it into Source just fine...
Thats because Source is a very uncomplicated engine... (in the shader sense). Instead of concentrating on lighting detail, it concentrates on pushing polygons.Quote:

Does that make it good? No, its a design choice. It explains how some newer engines look better, but ultimately have smaller triangle counts.
As an example -- UnrealEngine3 has a maximum of approximately 60,000 triangles for the characters in the scene (all characters combined, source: Epic's Unreal Technology page) This equates to approximately 4,000-12,000 for 5-15 loaded players. This is low, even for current gen. However -- its made up for by the lighting detail (normal mapping, parallax self-occlusion, etc.)
My guess for the major reasoning behind this is -- basically -- you don't need to get the CPU to vertex-shift a texture... but you do for non-static meshes.
Really? I had no idea you could have such a high polycount on an fp model in any engine. Thats pretty cool.Quote:

cut on white lines (all the way around) to fix gray-circled errors.
you can't just make a lowpoly, and chamfer shit and meshsmooth it.
doesn't work like that
Did I ever say it worked like that now?, I have a demo tag. although its shitting up. I'm gonna fix those errors you pointed out tweek.Quote:
