HPL2 Polygon Budget

[Alex Ros]

Just out of curiosity, is there any engine where X amount of polygons causes a crash?

Yes of course. Most of engines do have such a limitation. If there's a compile level-map procedure and you've exceeded the polygon limit the level wouldn't just compile. That simple. And most of engines do have a compiling step. And it's not about visible-to-player or invisible-to-player polygons - there's just a specific limit and you have to always point it mind.

...Myself I have a 10,000 polygon terrain in the mod I am working on, but it dosent hurt framerate...

Well looks like it could be a helpful number. At the moment I'm making pack of the new trees and looks like if a single one uses 300-400 triangles, it's quite fine. And if the whole park could "eat" something around 7-8 thousands it also wouldn't crash HPL2. That's nice.
