Poly budget

Shulito

How many polys would you target a character seen from this distance (it's for a desktop PC game character)??

It varies. I'd put 40k triangles on it assuming you're supporting it with textures baked from a high poly.

4 pixels per triangle.

I never heard of this. I resized the imaged to this:



which has a height and a width of 88px and 136px. So:

(88 * 136) / 4 => about 3k. Is this correct??

*2 because of the opposite site but yeah, that size looks similar to a lod 2 model from a first or third person game. I think 6-10k would be okay.
