Yes, but as I mentioned, game engines convert everything into triangles, not quads. So 100,000 polygons are assumed to be 100,000 Triangles you see in a game.
Since people are always asking "how many polygons are in next gen games?" and this is a website for making art related to video games, I want to set up a thread keeping count of it all! I have seperated the thread into character polygons and environment polygons. Characters: Killzone Shadow Fall Developer: Guerrilla Games…
In relation to games I just always assume poly counts are talking about triangles. Sure it won't always be the case but's the safer assumption. Also polygon could mean 6000 triangles, it could mean anything. Just for clarification, a character from final fantasy listed is 100,000 polygons, which means 200k triangles…
