the divisions of the tube are probably too high for an in game model.
its waisted polys that no ones really going to see.
it would work for a pre rendered scene provided a super close up wasnt involved. You will also find that most fluro tubes have a small removable capaciter in the body.


fall down seven times, stand up eight

the .x object has 300 polys, 184 vertices
the .lwo object has 110 polys, 184 vertices

but good call on the lamps, cut them down in size. NEW .x model has 252 polys, 160 vertices. I am assuming the ballast is hidden in the ceiling or seperate. but either way i created 2 new models, one with and one without a ballast

still too much for non character object for game. Imagine average character have 600-2000 polys.

Well, take a look at this one, I just made it in anim8or (2 min work)



Its 32 poly

As you can see, in-game models dont need many polygons.
I used a 5-poly ngon, extruded it to a length of 200.
Then I've made a 4-poly path, extruded it to a length of 200.
And then I textured the whole thing

thanks for the advice. but are your models tripled or do use quads for modeling?

I want to make things more realistic in games. I have played a lot of games where everything looks so fake and flat. how many polys or vertices is just too much? I am very capable of modeling but have shortcomings when it comes to modeling for games, so any advice is appreciated.

I see, I just converted it to .3ds (I can convert it to .x if you want) and it's changed to 60 poly, still low enough. Here you can see them:
