Policount of a Kart Game

Dalkia

I dont know if a can ask for this here, but here i am.

im making 3D models for  a videogame about karts (like Mario kart...) but i dont know how much poligons (tris) must have every ship, the engine we are using is Unity. and the map/sircuit is goin to be a little bit large (at least larger than the mario kart's sircuits).

Tnx! and sorry if i dont have to ask this here...

As few as you can to get the look you desire. 

If you make the carts first, then post wireframe shots in the 3d subforum, people can tell you if you could do the work more efficiently or not.

Hello,

Here a good reference for you with levels / environment themselves : https://noclip.website/ - Lets you noclip through any levels of many games real quickly.

I'd say nowadays you count your polys when working on mobile only. I mean you still do but not as people used to (here is for my experience at least) - but it's excellent practice for working clean etc so go ahead with counting them.

Holy sh*t, that's (very illegal, but) awesome!

It even renders the water shader in Super Mario Sunshine.
