Hello, can anyone answer these 3 questions about half life2.

1. What is the average triangle count of a character model such as Alex.

2. What is the average triangle count of usable vehicles such as the buggy you drive in the antlion level.

3. What is the average triangle count of a POV weapon?

    Do you have the game? in that case u can use the modelviewer and load all those models and check polycount etc in there.

    I know its not answer to the question but its pretty good since you can also see lod's and wireframes, check animations etc etc

    From what I saw, I didn't think the models were that great. The textures on the character were sloppy... and I'm guessing it was because photos were used. There was no attemps made to match up any of the seams or clean up areas of the photo source materials.

    Cool game, though.

    1. Alexs' count is a little higher than all of the other npcs, around 8500 for LOD0 and the rest are around 5000.

    2. Around 5000 for LOD0.

    3. POV as in first person? 1200-2000, 300-500 for thirdperson. About 1800 for both arms.

    Will do a quick doublecheck later.

    Where is the triangle counter in the model viewer I looked in there before I posted here?

    I only had a closer look at the combine. They used photos, but that's a good way to do it if you spend enough time on fixing all the problems a photo has. I liked that one a lot smile.gif

    1.Alex 8323. Breen 6629. Barney 5922. Everyone else around 4700-5200.

    2. Airboat 5944. Buggy 5824

    3. Guns (with arms) around 1500-3200 (crossbow and .357 cal). Gordons arms are 1976 polys, but you only see them once when he flexes his fingers after getting the suit. Some of the weapons only includes one arm which definatly lowers the total polycount a lot.
