GOOD GOD 6 million polys!!! Thread

It has been anounced by Epic, (this wasnt said on April 1) that the Unreal 3 gfx engine is going for UNreal gfx also, 6000000 max polys for model, to create THE MOST REALISTIC LOOKING game ever created, this is gonna be a 8 discer! It will be released beginning of 06

It's hype for now Don't believe ANY engine crap till a demo or a few unalterated shots are released.

I think Epic are selling themselves out now with hype

and who will model using anywhere near that number?

what about that game stalker, what would there poly count be t looks damn real

If it's as good as Unreal 2, I won't be buying it.

Besides, why have millions of polys when you can have normal maps on 3000 poly models

60000000 sounds like a number unintelligentilly farfetched from nowhere anyway, hype, hoax, etc. Besides, it's unneccessary.

BECOSI S KEWL

is there an editor that supports 1 million?

i dont think id put my computer through that kind of stress

I think the only matter is system specs (RAM!) and the limits of the engine that you model for.. but I can be wrong.

well, stalker is a good example of a game that hasn't got models with freakin big polys, which looks freakin realistic and runs freakin fast

...6000000 max polys for model, to create THE MOST REALISTIC LOOKING game ever created, this is gonna be a 8 discer! It will be released beginning of 06

it reminds me of "I NEED HELP PLZ"

Quake1 is pretty unlimited.

Imagine the years it would take for games to produce with this and all that labor, its a waste of technology.

and btw, the game will be the most realistic looking game ever created, but who cares about the gameplay?:P

What Im thinking here, is that everything in this game will be modeled buildings, terrian, everything...even high poly rodents!

If they focus all about graphics now, I'd bet the game would suck. UT2k4 is all fine and dandy because gfx wasn't a serious concern with their hype

Game before glitz, dammit

If it was me id concentrate (on the gfx side) on the textures for the maps cos hich res textures look far better on maps than high poly maps also they runs smoother on my little pc of mine

Looks like finding modellers for mods would become a little more difficult.

Actually, the engine can cope with 6 million pollys and they said the model was 6mil but they showed a 6000 poly model version of it that looks just as realistic due to the DX effects and lighting.

we dont need such a high polycount to make something real :/

The studio that made Unreal 2 have been closed down.

I think its still along way off before we have a real confirmation that 6 mil polys will be used. Besides, graphics are getting to a point were we won't see the difference in poly counts.

screw bump mapping, im going to model in my bumps!

how about modeling your bumps

Well, needing to hype 6,000,000 polys sounds like a case of eyecandy concentration. Besides, most engines can handle such high polycount by many many objects (darkplaces quake and their 10,000 knights) but the problem is, is handling the physics/code for each.

Still, if a game concentrates on GFX, it's lost it's definition of being a game.
