these are good faces! kind of the perfect level of fidelity and polycount for my tastes haha

it's a little janky and low budget, the polycount isn't quite convincing, but you get used to it and it's comfortable :3

I have personally sworn it had the polycount to that of Nightmare Karts!
Glad to see I am not the only person with that intuition.

I've found that the UVtoolkit's pack UV function to be more stable compared to add-ons like UV magic.
The latter is fine for low poly models but completely freezes when dealing with subD models with a relatively
high polycount.

THEY DE-MAKED ME COOP, DIALED THE POLYCOUNT WAY DOWN LOW!

wierd, while i render, i cant get fluid 24 FPS on the Enna blend-file (24k verts), i get around 10FPS. but i get fluid 24FPS on the Mina blend-file (28k verts). Mina who has a slightly higher polycount and this makes no sense. I also able to play BG3 with frame drops but its playable

Listen this was back when people gave advice like “polycount doesn’t matter”

Thanks! The hard part is to balance "recognizable real plant" with "polycount" ;)

I think the most useful thing you can do when downloading 3D assets is to look at their polycount. You want all of them to be around a similar range, like, smaller ones being 2~3k, larger items around 10~15k, so on. What you DON'T want is accidentally download an asset with 800k triangles.
Pretty pleased with my single stall bathroom scene now :> Tons of free downloadable assets, and with some UV and mapping changes, it all looks pretty cohesive!

Even if you don't make CC, I recommend that folk get S4S for a number of reasons, but mostly so that you can check the polycount of anything you download. I downloaded a Coke can accessory to make a pose with & discovered that it was almost 40k 😭💀

plus lmao that polycount is not a problem for pcs, polycount under millions works just fine if your modifier stack is not fucked up

Continuing my exploration of Blender's shader and geometry nodes, I made a shelf for my bottles :3
The bottle's shader didn't work on the shelves, probably because I was unwilling to up the polycount. I made a new one based on a selection of edges from the base model!
I'm having a lot of fun :3

This one was meant to let me experiment some with optimization for game objects; it's not perfect and in hindsight i could have halved the polycount of the support pedestal without visible issues, but the topside is fairly valid for the polys it has.

But you always bake down to one material regardless of polycount, right? I’m really temped to use a parallax material for windows on my corpo buildings but not sure if lotsa dual-material meshes will tank fps..😬

Np, glad I could help! :D Tbh I honestly don’t remember how I found his site as I originally bookmarked it for lowpoly long ago, but realized its super helpful going into painting vs pixelart. My guess would be the digging through polycount forum lol

There was a time when you would be banned from the Polycount forums for posting something that unoptimized.

a trick to reduce the polycount of gears, made a pbr material with alpha cutout and layered 3 quads to fake depth (yes i know they're not touching each other, was just doing a quick test in engine)

He's supposed to just be 60k triangles with the dick on! It was blowing up his polycount WAY higher because the claws had 3 levels of subdiv on them lmao

Oop, I noticed I left a couple subdivision modifiers turned on in the viewport, rather than just on render, which was blowing up his polycount unnecessarily. I've rectified that, so feel free to either turn these off yourself, or redownload the file here:

Looks slick, welbot! Now texture that sucker :D
Gave me flashbacks to that low-spec Tron challenge we did on Polycount like....16yrs ago (oh god it's been that long).

We had small studios full of artists just experimenting, sharing what we learned and somehow managing to to create a product. As the years rolled on, 3D game artists started developing a shared craft via forums such as Polycount. Tech developed in pace with us so we always had new things to share.

just high on polycount (4,9k) because i cba to optimize/retopo for this
