My 3D models double polygon size with export to EDM modelviewer

[Silver_Dragon]

I put a video show my Pr.123 torpedo boat. That model has 123000 polygon size, the problem coming with export them to EDM tools, on the Modelviewer, my model double your polygon size :(

 

I19Qg-U-p6I

 

Some help about them?

 

Sorry by the video size, the EDM take "excessive" time to convert the 3D model to EDM :( (jump to the video final)

Hi Siver'

 

it could be your "collision model" which is in fault, I dont have access to my PC for several weeks/ months.

 

Is the collision model applied on all the mesh ?

[Silver_Dragon]

I dont make collision model to my models, otherwise, not sure has I can check them.

 

Other point, if I intent use that EDM model into DCS: World, that crash.

Sorry, can't help you much as far I don't have access to my my PC.

may be you also export hiden objects/mesh ?

Open exporter settings and make sure the "Smoothing" options are off, if they are, something in max is adding additional smoothing.

Not sure if 3ds shows you the polycount as quads or tris.

Be aware that a lot of engines convert quads into tris.

 

So this would explain the double amount of polygons.

Depends on if Your converting the Shapes to Editable Poly (QUADS), Editable Mesh (Triangles)

 

etc

It most likely is the poly to tri conversion. If I remember correctly 3dmax stats display has an option to see what the triangle count is in addition to the poly and verts.
