RE: [Cosmos2-design] Model "human_spaceship

[Ben K. <ben...@it...>]

My testing for my card ( which is prob the most common card out there eg
TNT32 based) shows that poly counts up to 40000 were fine. What really
killed the performance was loading multiple textures , the moment I took it
back to 1 texture performance was fine. The textures were 256K

Each texture is renedered as a seperate frame.

eg
    Load meshes
    Load texture
    Render polies for that texture
    Load Texture
    Render polies for that texture.

So 2 textures would pretty much cut your frame rate in 2 and 4 in 4  (
meshes tend to be pretty small )

On the other hand using one texture results in inferior rendered images.
