Dear reader/helper, I'm looking for ways to reduce size for the created 3d face image generated by de free facegen moddeling program. The 3D model size I generated from my own face is 25kB in size. This seems not to be a problem, but if I would like to make an internet multiplayer game that supports up to 20 persons I get the following calcultaion:
25kB = 25 * 8 = 200kb Per Face So 20 faces make: 4000kb If i got an internet bandwidth of 100kb/s (normal I think) The time it wil take to get al that faces to my pc, would take approximately: 4000 / 100 = 40 seconds (afcorse the upload 100kb/s) This seems not much but if you have to wait for 40 seconds it is long without knowing what else has to be downloaded in order to play the multiplayer game. Now I ask myself how can this be solved? By compressing the fg file? leaf the texture out of the face model? I think the BMP texture must be one of the biggest? Hope someone can answer this one. I'm just searching for some answers before I begin such a project. regards, Maarten --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ FaceGen: Award-winning 3-D face creation software.
