Possible maximu poly count reached for .OBJ

Post by WhytWulf »

Well I though I'd stress test the engine.. (nothng better to do on a Sunday :)

the object was to be loaded as a terrain mesh.. it has 74000 polys (it is a big mesh,(covnerted) DEM file of a chunk of Mars, in OBJ format :)

It took 77666ms to create the OctTree for it..

And as you can see the polys are looking more like a haystack than chunk of mars.

Is there a limit to the octTree, how many subdivisions does octTree make. is the reason why the polys are borked because of the amount of them and octTree is unable to process that many..

I know I being silly loading a mesh with that many polys, but it is nice to test. BTW the orginal mesh I have has just over 200K polys.. it took 641597ms to create the octTree and I gave up waiting the screen refresh :)

Wow, funny ;)
Ok, I think I'll have to optimize the octree a little bit, or make it at least be more configurateable. And I'll have to split meshes into more meshbuffers if they got more than 65000 vertices, to avoid these drawing problems. Already on my TODO-list :)
