only on the big bang

that looks so awesome. i cant wait to try some mapping, i would finally make levels to the standard or detail i want to and not worry about performance.....

Fun Facts. In Unreal engine 1, Malcom had 595 Mesh Faces. In Unreal engine 2, he had 3030 mesh faces. In UE3, he will have 1.5 Million!
Whoa.
Whoa.

take into account the normal maps,and he wont exceed 30000 real polys

1.5 million is only another 250,00 - 500,000 more than the models from doom3.
its a new way of skinning so the huge poly count only applies to the UVs when skinning it originally,, its then transferred onto a much reduced poly character for use in game. therefore, it wont be too long before 2 or 3 million poly skins become the norm.
ive even seen ppl doing this in maps for ut2004. some ppl can make 500,000 trig static meshes and then skin them onto 3500 trig meshes. its a highly effective illusion of detail, and something which i think will become ever more popular as games become more detailed.

Oh, and those Mesh faces counts are in a normal map. 1.5. million mesh faces in a normal map = OMFG AWSOME!!!

the playstation 3 is suppose support Ageias physics tech. Could be nice since ut2k7 is going to be on the ps3.

As i said a few posts above,its normal mapped,so the REAL malcolm will be somewhere around the polycount UT2004 malcolm is,but will looks like its 1.5mils due to the normal map
