Stevo texture memory effects performance more than poly count would.

They still go hand in hand. Theres no point in having a 10k poly object with 256 pixel texture. Its just silly.

Well if your objective is to get high performance as possible then yes it would be silly. You can't feel the difference between a few thousand polys anway, people freak out over poly count to much. I've had 750k in game before with no problems at all.

Whats a good balance of poly count to texture mem for one "scene". Full gate and empty??

My guess is this:

Bike poly count: 15k-25k
Texture size: 2k OR 2k x 4k

Rider Model: 8k-15k (Helmet, Boots, Braces included)
Texture size: 2k OR 4k

To me this would be for GOOD computers only (Sad kinda since most Next-Gen games are way above these marks, although they do have $$$$$$ and resources so jlv has done good with only himself). Me personally, this is where my work will always be around because I can't stand having to try to put high detail into low detailed areas. If things make you lag turn down your graphics is the way I think.

Now if its empty gate I would say do what your heart desires I guess.

So for every 1k map you would get 10k polys? I was just looking at it from a track object point of view. I'm thinking you would need possibly 2k per 10k polys. At least but I'm not too sure.

Ok??? So in the first one you have high poly wheels and everything but you turn your texture res way down. Now you have low poly wheels and your texture res is nearly maxed?? Come on guy :lol:
