What is the max count of polygons that a new model can have in OFP?

Im a bit confused here, someone told me the blackhawk of the full game has 20000 while someone else told me 1500, personally I think the 1500 would be right, but Im not sure.

So can anyone answer this question? http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

Thanks.

Blackhawk does have 1500 faces and 1900 points.
You must separe the LODs, used for someone who is staying outside the helicopter and the View-pilot (cargo) that is showed when u are pilot-gunner-cargo

As far as I know LOD in OFP is only limited by DirectX8.1
so max number of polys is 65536

View-Pilot +-900

1 LOD 500 max
2 lod = 1lod polycount/2
3 lod = 2lod polycount/2

polycount = +-80 thenn made 2sided plane with gun texture and model just few parts

last lod = just plane with gun texture

i try tu pru more explainng picture somewhere tommorow

This is last but one LOD and only things that are 3D are the RGB.

Lol it wasnt taco-shop, it was packed bagetta on shooting range http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif
I was there with some israeli guys shooting UZI and it ROCKS!  http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

So the advice is: Never buy food on shooting range.

Thanks for the images! I guess those LODs are used very very far away. Will they even need the 3d parts? I suppose the gun would just be 1 pixel on the screen!

BTW, I'd love to try an Uzi! Unfortunately my country is like a kindergarden, regarding firearms: "no, you can't touch that, it's too dangerous. Now go play some football". So only the criminals have guns http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif
