decreasing fps... how to increase frame per second

inadilemma · Post by **inadilemma** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 6:58 pm

i have designed a small level of my game.(the level consists of a bulding of 24000 poly,about 30 of low poly 3ds model and 10 md2 animations)

but when i created a meta triangle selector and made my FPS camera collide with all these things frame per second decreased to 3/4 fps.

though i haven't use even a single dynamic light why this happened?

any suggestions?

Your hardware? lol.. 24,000 polys is more than it seems. And if you add the textures.. which takes a good bit of memory if they're large, that will slow the framerate. Like I have a model thats 4,000 polys that runs at 60 FPS until I apply the texture, then it drops 5 or so FPS.

There should be information about increasing framerate somewhere on the net. Check GameDev.net

The collision detection in Irrlicht is not nearly up to par.

Look into integrating a Physics engine, such as ODE or Newton into your applicaiton.

thanx to u all

i m trying to intigrate newton .

my hardware:

P-3 833Mhz, 256 MB SD RAM,64 MB Radeon

I've just implemented Newton into my game with Irrlicht, if you have any questions, PM me or ask here.

with newton taking over the collision detection still fps is below 15

frustrating for me

the texture resolutions are no greater than 256*256*16

24000 polys seems like alot for a 64 MB card. Are you using any LOD
