RE: [GD-Consoles] Textures vs. Polygons

[Tom F. <to...@mu...>]

There is no typical size! We've tended to use 512x512 for a whole person in
the past, but that was for StarTopia, which is very RTS-like in its
viewpoint - you're high up, and there's lots of small people running around
on the screen. For Blade2 we have something like eight 256x256 textures to
cover the main character - Blade, but that's for a console title, where you
just don't have enough pixels on the screen to see any higher detail. For a
PC version, we'd probably upsample a few of those, because people will want
to run at 10x7.

What's he up to now (and can I have a go)?
