Alright... First post.. I realize that there are tons of tutorials on this site and others on modeling... however, I am having difficulty finding strait answers. A couple questions if someone would be so kind in answering them: -Do I have to edit a blizzard model, or can I create one from scratch in MAX and then import it into the game a la one of the many tutorials online? Some tutorials say you have to, while I've read other posts that imply you don't. -What is the optimum face count for a model? I've heard that around 400 is fine... Could this go up considering most people exceed the minimum requirements for the game anyway? any other thoughts on this? Anyway, thanks in advance for any help!! <o<aholi< |

You can either edit a Blizzard model or create one from scratch. Your acceptable face count depends on what sort of unit you have. A hero or building can be up towards 800 or so (I think), while a ghoul or something should be below 500. You can always open Blizzard files to see what they used. |
