Working on 3D OpenGL/C Game Engine...

[Speed]

well what usually makes an object in games look more complex than it actually is, is the textures.. without the textures sometimes the object model looks like a generalization of the obect. my model was designed to look really close to a real monkey without textures yet... and it has a significant amount of polygons, i'd say almost 80,0000..





Yeah, I know. My question now though is do you have the processing power to run ten of these on the screen at one time, with textures, background, sound, yadda yadda? Nobody is limited in terms of game style by the code, we are limited by the processing power we have available to utilize in our code. If you think you can run a few of these creatures on the screen along with all the other shit it takes to have in a decent game, and pull it off with a decent framerate, then all the power to you.

yeah, before i rewrote the code entirely i had 3 of them at one time with no lag:

,but now my code is greatly changed, and i use an OpenGL Extension that takes advantage of your video cards memory, it copys all the model information across the AGP bus into your video ram, which is much faster than typical system ram..
