Polygon and LOD for 3d asset making.

Retopology is hard. My retopology models end up as 30k - 40k polygons. I can get them in at around 10k-15k polygons. My question! Is 30k-40k the range game developers are willing to buy. Considering the LOD generation software. What do game developers want? I can get the software and generate LOD models to include with the higher rez model.

I think because of the auto LOD generation software, game developers want higher rez models.

 

30-40k for what?

 

LOD not matter, if you making model should be relatively low poly count, for high res details bake normal/displacement map

 

No.

post wireframe

 

no this is not satisfactory, u using auto topo tool. Poly count can be significantly reduce

 

how u model this anyway, what is workflow, many flaws that can be addressed if u explain?

 

How many polygons? 10k and less? Whats a good range for making the model?

 

I mean that seems too dense to me for what it is. It could have half or less of the polygons and it wouldn't look much different.

Unless of course you are supposed to go super close up to it, but then the textures don't look like they would hold up.

 

issue is not poly count, issue is how you model and retopo now sir after seeing model kindly explain process
