I use 4k textures on the AK and 2k for the grenade launcher. polycount: 15.5k tris ( AK : 10k and GL : 5.5k ) I made this for practice, so there's no limit, I just optimize it till the point I feel reasonable I'm trying to improve my work, so… -
RAM or Video Card upgrade to run huge scenes in engine?`
Hey, what's up, guys. I've been sitting on my old rig for a while while now: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+(2,41ghz) Geforce 8500 GT 256 mb and 2gb of RAM I'm running it on XP.
