Title: Max polygons in map maker?
Post by: isone on January 10, 2013, 09:26:33 pm
What is the highest amount of polygons supported for feral heart and map maker for custom objects?
(the biggest amount that would be normally allowed in a map without causing too many problems)

I'm just wondering because I want to use a custom object in my map and it has quite some polygon count.. so I wanted to know what is the highest allowed in a map?

It honestly depends on your computer's processing power and graphics card.

Just be aware, if you use a laggy item in the map that it will probably lag for most other users as well.

Yeah basically as Kerrigan explained it really is up to how much your computer can handle but here is some useful info I found in an old forum post that might also help give you some estimates common to most:


Ok, so how low poly is good? well heres a rough chart 8'D
*Keep in mind, this is for the common  computer, if yours is older, go for lower, if yours is brand freaking new like mine, as high as you want to a reasonable amount xD*

Common_____________________________________________________________________________________________

100-4000 polys = Recommended, very little lag and low chance of crash

5000 Polys = OK, 90% of uses can do just fine with a couple of those objects

6000-7000 = NOT recommended, your standing on the edge

8000+ = DIE DIE DIE >=V
