what are the max polycounts for psp?

Ozymandias

Just got done with a conference call with a company we are doing a psp game with. They have the engine, and when I asked what the polycounts were for the levels they told me we could have a 20,000 vert level with 20,000 polys on screen at one time. That makes no sense, so if anyone has any general info for what the psp can handle on screen at once, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks Eric, I was trying to find that post earlier. I greatly appreciate it.

You're welcome.

Of course, vertex/poly counts are going to vary depending on what rendering methods you use and how optimized the engine code might be. So I always take numbers like these only as a general guide, relying instead on some real-world tests to provide real numbers.

20-30k triangles on screen in Daxter. With some of those levels, it's easy to believe that if not more.

cant say too much about what i am working on, but on the psp we get a ton of polies, and it all runs pretty good. i get around 3700 for background characters and 4500 for hero class. we usually have 3 to 4 characters on screen at a time. the environment limit is around 15 grand per zone.

Yeah, the PSP has nearly the same poly-chomping capability as PS2. It just has crap for texture support

Btw Ozy - nice meeting ya the other night! Hope you're having a good time at 5000ft.
