How Low Must I Go?

  • Complexity for speed is the tradeoff.
  • Think in terms of hundreds of polygons in your model, rather than thousands.
  • Consider 1K polygons in your scene as a general guideline, and work up.
  • This number may be modified after adding textures, sounds, and interactions.
  • Use texture mapping if possible--this is how game designers handle low polygon count.
