What attention to detail!
I wonder what the Polygon count on this is. Must be pretty high I take it.
I don't know the exact number, but it is pretty high.
Don't worry though, the idea is to have details like the deck beams visible only while extremely close to the ship. Beyond a certain distance, these beams will disappear to reduce polycount and improve performance.
The polycount is around 1'500'000 tris so far. But it has a few duplicated objects and all the cannons are eating nearly 500'000 tris. So the ship itself has about 800'000 tris.
In the end I think, that my Endeavour will end up between 2'500'000 and 3'500'000 tris.
