Polycount/texture map guideance?

Tay_3D

I'm looking at creating a large passenger liner for a University game project; it will be a large exterior model (no interior) and I’m aiming for the photo-realism graphical style. It will act as the level and the player can navigate around. I would love some guidance on the recommended Poly-count and texture maps, it would be much appreciated!   This will be implemented in Unity 5.

Target platform: Windows PC

Largely depends on what kind of a game it will be and on what platform?  More details are needed before anyone can give you an answer. Also is this for specific props or overall scene/ what is seen by camera?

You will lead the industry into a whole new direction 

Quack!

Throttlekitty and crimsonwolf, if you don't have anything useful to contribute then it's best not to look like asses where a bunch of industry professionals roam.

Back on subject, like Mirbobo stated, this question is very loaded, especially with todays wild ranging platforms, from underpowered cheap smartphones to overpowered desktops. It's best to state your targets first then we can give you better guidance.
