We NEED more developers!

Well,. for weapons not that much is needed. I'd recommend at top 1500 tris, so no more than that.

And for characters...?

Iirc, 3000-4000 pollies.

Well, that's the current ones. I'd say do not exceed 3000 tris. But it would really help if you could bring it down way below 3000, say 2000-2500 tris.

Hummm... the crisis is everywhere

Im on it

Will they still look good?

Pertinent.

I got to use the imagination to compensate... lots of it.
Its a challenge and i accept.

[ai]

Plus textures and shaders is really the things that make it look good.

[Alien]

Hmm, just checked that ori q3 models had 800-900 vertexes, so yeah if our models have 3000...

Absolutely... and about that, you can use up until 10 layers of textures with deferents functions on one object in Blender3D. I believe two of them, at least, should be used (color and bump map). Is that possible/recommended?

[ai]

The bump maps are separate from the actual model. They're basically just a gray image that has '_bump.tga' for instance which is used. I don't know if it's at all possible to have the bumps inside the 3D app and then save it in a shader or alike. At least I haven't had much luck with that.
