I'm trying to make a prison level for Halo, but the poly count is just over 16000 in the main room alone. How much of a problem is this? It's three floors, if anybody is confused as to how I managed this.

I'm trying to make a prison level for Halo, but the poly count is just over 16000 in the main room alone. How much of a problem is this? It's three floors, if anybody is confused as to how I managed this.
I'm pretty sure the guidelines are somewhere around 5,000 for a gun, 10,000 for a vehicle, and 100,000 for a map, poly-wise.
Lol, that's way off.Quote:

How well did it run in-game? I'm trying to make sure that my map will run smoothly; remember, all 16000 are on-screen AT ONCE. Will that not cause problems?Quote:

Not really a poly limit, as long as good portalling is made.
weapons now a days can be anywhere between 3.5k to 8k triangles. vehicles can be up to 8ish. levels can be crazy. as long as proper portaling is applied. i have made a map with 30,000 tris and it ran perfectly fine without portals. so keep goin then portal it. should come out fine.
there's really no poly-limit for maps. like the people say, just smack enouhg properly placed portals in there, and itll shine like a freshly polished baby's ass

naw its 10,000 ish for a map I think it said in the hek tutorial I forget... but Death island is believed to be close to 20,000...
16,000 should be ok but if your going to be adding a lot more to it I recommend making some good portals to make the game run more smoothly
