next gen characters - triangles
Just done a tutorial on next gen game characters, was a good tutorial but the number of triangles that was in the geomtry was massive. Is this not an issue anymore with next gen games? Done the SM game character tutorial and it said try and keep your number of triangles down.
can anyone help?
cheers

mtmckinley, I kinda meant there was alot of 3 sided faces and not quads in this model. I know they get triangulated anyway but ive been told that you should have as little 3 sided faces as pos (obvisouly there will be some).
Thanx

the only real reason to work with quads is it is a lot easier to work with. no real other reason to be honest when it comes to game work
