Week 7
This set of tyre stacks were very handy for a crash barrier on the F1 tracks. They were made from one of Kyles actual wheels on his car model. they were also used as a prop in my garage scene as that's a very obvious place to have tyres.
These fences were very good but will come in later for when we have expansions in our game. one problem with these was the poly count. After my tutor mentioned the poly count i was very curious to find out how many some of my props had. A normal poly count for an object is anywhere between 500 and 1500. The one fence on the bottom right of the picture had over 20000.
I had the same poly count issue with my stadium benches and knowing that these were going to be used I had to do something about it. So after some refining I managed to get the prop down to 10000. Unsure if this was going to be an issue we improted it into unity. Joseph added an FPS(frames per second) counter and we did some play testing with the prop in place. The poly count turned out to be okay as we were averaging 300 FPS.
