Re: [glob2-devel] some graphics in blender

hi

my brother is interested but he doubts it makes sense to have that few polygones 
(tower has some 200 triangles).

can you give some figures on why you chose such a low poly count?
My aproach:
LOD world view:
entities (units/buildings/vegetation) will be 1 to 3 sprites each. that will 
still produce lots of data taking a 512x512 map with 512x256 entities = 400.000 
sprites.

Most close up view:
20x20 squares containing at max 200 entities.
so i would spend some 1000 triangles on average per entity and some 5000 for big 
buildings like the pool (if needed)

to avoid the problem of popping artefacts when looking around i would restrict 
the view to something within the 90° (maybe 110°) fov vertical to the ground and 
set the LOD globally depending on the chosen zoom in 5 steps.

greetings, leo
