Hi everybody, I was wanting to ask your advice on a 3d project I have been working on which is running dog slow and using most of my CPU ;)
Basically I have developed an application with shockwave which allows you to build yourself. Ie you can choose your body, eyes, nose, ears etc, all these things are configurable. Each 'body component' is a separate model which allows me to turn each on/off in turn. I also have animations which your character performs all the time. So the character could be waving at you or jumping up and down etc, all while you can change any features. My problem is that it runs really slow. I have read that render speed falls dramatically when number of models goes up, I have about 160. It also has a total of about 80,000 polys. But at the same time after you have chosen your features the actual number of models DISPLAYED on the screen is more like 5/6, so not much at all. ie you can't show all the noses at the same time! I was just looking for some advice if anybody has done something similar before. I see all these games zipping around in director so I know it can go run things fast but I am unsure of my next step. Its pretty unusable at the moment due to the speed constraints. (its also rather big, might have to reduce the quality or store some other way....)
