Hair styles and their poly counts [what ones are good for games?]

aweswan

Here is a list of hair and there polycounts. I have about 15 cahracters in a scene whic is about 25 million polygons.... about 20-23 million of those polygons is hair.

So, what are the good hair styles to get? i've sorted them for the ones I have by order. Feel free to add your own findings. i need to use Daz hair because morphs affect the hair position, and .mcs and other hair style won't conform unless exported fromt he same figure.

HerYun does low poly but not all have a license.

Hey nice finds! - I found you can type an artists name in the email and sometimes it exists and you can ask for a licence to be added.

Get the PolyFew asset on UAS. I reduce my DAZ hair to 80%, easily managable. Use these settings and you won't be able to tell a visual difference. Won't work for mobile (or might, i haven't reduced more than 80%), but I'm not a mobile guy so can't help much there.

 

Before ~800K for the hair

 

After ~140K

Do you know if poly few preserves the morph data when the mesh data is saved? Had some clothing drop its morphs in lod's

aweswan

Looking at Your.screen shot the "clear blend shape" seems to suggest it preserves morphs.
