Appropriate size of character in Mobile game.

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

I'm currently developing a 3D mobile game and I'm using Maya for making the characters. I'm wondering what is the default size or measure of a character and how many polygons do I need for each of them. I have a total of 15 characters in the game.

Your game app should tell you the polygon limit and their scale....not Maya.

Yea, that's totally dependent on the game, how many characters are on screen, and what engine you're using 🙂

But to give you an example, the mobile games I've worked on in the past have ranged from 4500 to 7500 triangles max for the main playable character. For enemies you'll want it to be lower than that since there are usually more enemies on screen (if I remember right for one game the enemies were around 2500-3000 triangles and lower).
