Modeling Complex Structures
by Ilidrake · in Collada Test · 05/25/2009 (5:58 pm) · 5 replies
Any tips anyone can give here. Like maximum traingles allowed. Hierarchical linkage. Does it need to be the same as constructor? I love Collada but more information on setting up models would be great.

- What application are you using for your models ?
- How are you trying to make the 'collision' where your model just gets stuck ?
afaik, there are some docs on the collada|torque pipe.
// some info:
Someone may be able to clarify this but a single mesh limitation is said to be around 9k to 10k triangles for dts. While the entire model can have a higher count, the model should be sectioned into under 10k/9k pieces. This is due to collada being auto-converted to dts and dts has these inherit limitations.

The 10k DTS restriction PER MESH, is gone I do believe....

I thought there weren't any restictions on poly count. I do know that polysoup is used for DAE collisions and that any poly surface smaller then 1 unit or something like that causes the polysoup to act up.
