  Re: Seemingly insane poly counts in official games - how?
 
(...) Hi Stefan, My guess is that the studs are a special primitive which is just attached as a bitmap. A cylinder is very quick to render and so a simple routine to map an angle to a cone bitmap which is then added in the right place wouldn't be (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Seemingly insane poly counts in official games - how?
 
(...) I'm guessing it is because each in game object is a single instanced mesh that has been severely optimised rather than a collection of individual part and subpart meshes that are all being drawn regardless of whether they are visible or not (...)

  Re: Seemingly insane poly counts in official games - how?
