aww for me, but I didn't get you anything XD

lol, thanks a lot 3com m8

You are welcome

working in children playground (wip)

The model is finished, but the poly count is too high.
After converting to editable poly, delete unnecessary polygons, etc, I can not lower than 50%, making the model into something unusable in designing a game, at least I think so.

Now the model has about 24,000 polygons and 25,000 vertices.
Someone knows some trick to reduce the number of polygons and vertices, without losing the quality of the model, of course?
Using 3ds max.
I think the model could be used by someone working in an urban level, for example.

That climbing net surface could be a single polygon, with a texture creating the impression of a net. 24000 seems a lot for that model. If you posted a screenshot in wireframe mode it would be easier to see where you could save polygons.

Good idea thanks for the tip!







Is there any chance to slowest poly count, a bit more?

3com

The slide looks a bit poly heavy. I also think the roof detail could be done with textures & normal map, rather than complex geometry. The thing with the noughts and crosses (it's hard to tell from the screenshots, but it looks like a lot of polys in there). If you use smoothing groups, you can get away with fewer polys on the cylinders. Could you zoom in on the frame of the net (the red bit)?

What Gtox said, it looks like pretty much everything in there except the posts and rails have way more polys than necessary. I've never used 3ds Max, but Blender has a nice little decimator tool that works pretty well. Nice looking model, though!

Sure!


Now 400 polys only.


Before they were chanfercyls, I had changed then by circles.


Sure.





4,945 polys - 5943 verts.





Glad you like it.

A lot of thanks to both.

3com

4945 is a lot better than 24844, and it looks pretty much the same. If you want to reduce it further, you could remove every second edge on the slide (or even more) - I don't think you'd notice much difference, visually.

very difficult to do without deforming geometry, since it is just a line.

As you said, 4995 better than 24000.
Now will work on Reloaded stuff.
Coming soon...

Thanks again!

3com

Amazing job!

Thanks a lot!

Well now poly coount as follow...
polys = around 4300
Verts = around 6000

Sweet!

LOL, now you just need tomjscott, avram, DVader, or smallg to script that sucker so it's interactive! Play tic-tac-toe (noughts and crosses) and go down the slide! Weeeeeeeee! Looks great!

Totally agree.

Thanks again to all.

Brilliant !!

You know where that going

You are welcome!

3com

haha that's different... nice work

Thanks smallg.
All of you are guilty.
Your excellent work encourages me to give my best.

Working in Tiny train toy.



In reloaded...



I'll add some traffic signals, lights, perhaps a tunnel, uhmm not sure yet...
And of course after that I'll should fight again polycount.

3com

That's so cool! Is that train animated outside of Reloaded, or is it following a path? I haven't had very much luck with rotation of entities in Reloaded. It takes RotateY(e, 5000) just to rotate an entity 90 degrees and even that doesn't seem to be constant, with my object rotating seemingly random amounts each time I run it.

Glad you like it.
Yes it is animate in 3ds max and play ani into Reloaded.
I' do plane make some signals and lights, semaphores toys, this weekend. No time left since I'm working too, in a "serious" rigged train.

I think it will take me a long time since I've never done something like this.
I'm working on the model from scratch.
Serious doubts come to me, for use in Reloaded.

Really is pretty difficult to work with this type of models achieve an acceptable quality while maintaining low poly count.
After a long hard work, you rely on a texture that simulates moderately what you can't do, due the problem with the poly count.

Use preloaded railway is fine, but it is very static, but could be used to recreate a scene, for example.
With fixed gravity off, You can even travel to mysterious lands.

Ideally it can be used on its own railway, but then, ¿how getting the train follow the path you have designed in Reloaded ?, if we don't have the necessary commands to do so.

Well, I guess in the meantime, something in the Reloaded universe will emerge , I'm sure.

at 3com, it can be done, the project we are working on uses special scripts, it is a hassle tho, but can be done using waypoints.

Yes I know that, even without waypoints ( I've cross the river with my raft, without them), since it does no work 100€% fine, eventually.
Waiting 4 next version, mentime I'll work in the train model + rigging + railway being addapted to this train.
