Hi. I'm beginning to make 3D models. What polygon budget do I need to stay under for a character?
Is there anyone that can help me out? I just need an estimated number of polygons that I need to stay under before I begin to skin my model (my model is almost to that point now).
I'm pretty sure it's 6k.

Ok, thanks. I'll keep this in mind.
EDIT: If that is an accurate estimate, then I'm doing well. I'm at a bit over 2000 polygons right now with only one or two things to add. Gives me room to perhaps connect some edges and smooth it out. Thanks again!

That's where I got your answer. 1st Spoiler.
Depends on the character you're gonna put it over. If you open a character's file in BrawlBox then look at their model your can see how many polygons it has. Try to remain under that amount. Its usually about 10-12K.
If you really want to try, you can push 16K, but it makes things lag if there's too many of the model on the screen.

Nah, I won't push it. I probably would try it normally, but I can't even play Brawl right now on my Wii because someone is borrowing it at the moment, and I won't rely on an emulator for a lag test.
Thanks for that link Renova. That really helped in a number of ways.
No prob.
