Hi, I'm talking about, say you had a game, how many active, animted and textured modles could be handled. One of our ideas is to have a small war scene, but we are hoping to have a good numbers of models in said scene. How amny could dba handle without killing itself, 5-50 or 500-1000?

I think the skies the limit for the amount that DBP can handle(or somewhere around 16,000??) The question is, 'What can the computer handle?'

Try running this:

Depends on the scene.
It's not unusual for my scenes to contain ~30 000 grass objects. That said, they are naturally low-poly (a few crossed plains) and instanced copies.

Naturally, the grand factor is the computer specifications, like CoughMist said.

Animating large numbers of models requires quite a bit of CPU power so this limit heavily depends on your processor, and your model's polygon counts. However there are ways to push this limit higher, such as using the Enhanced Animations plugin or using a shader to perform the calculations on the GPU. I would suggest using both together if you need a huge number of models all animating at once.
