What are the chances of someone getting a model that "high poly" into Unreal Tournament (aka UT99)

im not really an expert but i think it would be fine as long as your computer can handle it. i dont think the ut engine would put limits on something like that.

but why would you want to?

I'm getting requests to put one of my models into the game.

You mean 2500 tris correct? I thought in general 3k polys was the average for UT characters..I'm pretty sure I've seen higher tri counts on some user made ones tho.

I got a 4000 poly model into UT no problem. I also got a 11,000 poly model in as well, but after awhile of playing with it (with bots with it at least) UT hangs!

It's best to use skeletal animation (*.PSK and *.PSA) for higher poly meshes as .3d tends to be very swimmy in frame animation.

Its good to know it works with higher poly/tri/whatever counts!

Now who wants to import the model for me since I know jack squat about importing models.
