Head Tri Count

Hi Guys

Im thinking about creating a high-res sculpt of a face and then retoping it so that it is suitable for engine such as unreal. I was just wondering if anyone knew what the average tri count of a head is for a FPS 7th gen console.

Cheers

Piece of string...

The usual rule of thumb is 25% of the total character polycount.

Ok, so what is the average tri count for a 7th gen character, such as Commander Shepard in the latest Mass Effect?

Why not working on the highpoly and then using as many polies as you need to get the desired silhouette?

Yeah thats what I usually do, but this model is for a games engine assignment so I really wanted it to have a tri count that was similar to models in industry.

The problem is that there is no exact answer. I think Nathan Drake was 50,000 polys. I would put the avg hero character at about 14k, then go from there.
