    Hello all

    Considering starting an idie project with some friends, I'm an experience 3D artist and was wondering what kind of triangle limits should one set when working on online games?

    How many triangles can the engine handle?

    Thanks guys

    The engine can handle a lot of triangles, as can most video cards short of a GMA 950. Multiplayer doesn't really figure into the equation.

    If you watch the "Performance Optimization" video from the Unite conference a few years ago, it goes into depth regarding polycount, draw calls, lights and fillrate for various target hardware and how to get the most out of the engine.
