psp game dev

1: Are there any guidelines (do’s and don’ts) about psp modeling in relation to regular modeling other wise not associated with video game modeling.

2: What would be the best poly budget to use as reference ratio for Character to enemy to bosses to environment to items?

3: Where can I find a tutorial on making models ready for psp use?

In the Archives section of the forum, there is an old thread about handheld console specs, that should give a pretty good idea of a place to start.

Hawken used to have images showing the screen res of each console as well, but I guess they're down now.

My question would be are you none funded none pro sort of mod devs trying to get something together ? Or are you pros ? Cause I mean I would imagine your art director would need to know this sort of information ? These are total n00b questions how did you land this job ? Im not trying to be insulting but it just seems strange to me .

thanks for the link Slum , it had a bunch of info i could use but there still are something’s that went unanswered mostly about what things other than poly count and texture size do u need to take into consideration when modeling for the psp as well as info on psp model compression/distortion etc.
