Moody Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Quick Question, since I seem to be finding old data and nothing new. Does any one know the Polygon Count of the F-14, and oddly, the Yak-52? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey45 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 From the modelviewer In tris not polys F14 - 716453 Yak-52 - 195226 The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

maxdiver Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 AH-6 LittleBird Project - can I get some guidance on best poly structure for DCS Hi Joey45, I'm getting back into my AH-6 model project after a few yrs off DCS. Have moved to Blender from 3ds, and brought what I'd done across. Getting prepped to re-mesh and redo/re-sculpt the entire model, I need some more recent specs on what DCS now requires/allows on model structure, tri's, quads, ngons, subdivision, normal mapping etc. Has anyone got a steer, our would like to help?

razo+r Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 The exporter automatically converts everything to tris, so use something that does not get too messy when being converted to tris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey45 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 You can get away with a 4K template [glass separate] for the whole model. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Fudge Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Looks great max, hopefully you'll keep us posted on progress with the plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rudel- Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 You can get away with 2 million triangles easy these days. Still doesn't hurt to have LoDs though. It's more about draw calls these days. The less materials on a model, the better. Atlas textures if possible. That F-14 with the cockpit is an estimated total of 2.5 million tris. https://magnitude-3.com/ https://www.facebook.com/magnitude3llc https://www.youtube.com/@magnitude_3 i9 13900K, 128GB RAM, RTX 4090, Win10Pro, 2 x 2TB SSD i9 10980XE, 128GB RAM, RTX 3090Ti, Win10 Pro, 2 x 256GB SSD, 4 x 512GB SSD RAID 0, 6 x 4TB HDD RAID 6, 9361-8i RAID Controller i7 4960X, 64GB RAM, GTX Titan X Black, Win10 Pro, 512GB PCIe SSD, 2 x 256GB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
