Polycounts - fighting game characters

ArchangelMorph · 2006-06-09T08:33:16

I'm interested in creating some characters for a 3D fighting game once I finish my exams and I need some advice.. - Provided I was planning on putting together character models with the level of detail (polygon) comparable to games like Soul Calibur 3 or Tekken 4, how many polys would we be talking about approximately? - Also how many textures per model would be suitable and to what resolution? Bearing in minds the game won't have anywhere near as detailed environments as are in the example titles mentioned above, i'm looking at what kind of figures are appropriate to allow the game to run on a wide range of machines? I would be most grateful towards any advice or help anyone can offer.. Thankyou!
