Problems with armor models and blender

[Trumpdog]

this is what the model looks like joined together, i cant think of a single reason why it implodes><

[chibievil]

i dont know, i had problems with textures that kinda looked like that

 

is your textures 1 whole image, if its seperate images then that might be the problem

[Trumpdog]

Yeah its 1 whole texture.

[chibievil]

maybe too many polygons

maybe too many polygons

thats what im beginning to think.....it has a painful 53700 and the bulk of it is in the chains at the hips...not sure why the maker needed that many polys for a chain lol

Gotta see if i can reduce the polycount without killing the shape of the models

[Kaerar]

Its because the chains are rendered with too much detail. Dragon Age could probably render those with Bump Maps in the textures almost as well as having them fully 3D. Try saving the model without the chains and try adding them with the texture maps ;)

[Trumpdog]

its not just the chains, the models are high poly models. I reduced the verts by 30-40k and still can't reduce it enough to load it in game

[Trumpdog]

I know there has to be a single texture but does each model i import in have to have its own material?After i join the models i delete all mats and create a new single one for the entire model.

[Trumpdog]

problem solved...well sort of.

There is indeed a poly limit for each type of armor. too many polys=model exploding depending on the model type. templar and robes can handle more polys than the rest
