I stumbled upon an interesting blog entry from Rick Stirling, a character artist, about the polycount of game character models. This post is interesting since it quotes some approximate numbers for the models.

Here are some examples that caught my eye:

It has always been interesting to me to see how many polygons were used on a certain game model. It's trivia, in most case, but I like these graphics related trivial tidbits

IIRC, the Master Chief received a reduction in polygons in Halo 2

[Skrying]

10,000 polygons for Leon in RE4? Damn that seems high. Awesome looking game for the time.

And Alyx having the most polygons in HL2 isn't surprising. Hehe.

[Darkon]

Jak I

Jak - 4000 polygons

Jak II

Jak - 10,000 polygons

Onimusha Warlords if I remember correctly also had some character models around 8,000 - 10,000 polygons or at least that's what Capcom claimed

[Quaz51]

Lost planet
Wayne - 12392 polygons (but finally 17765 polygons for compatibility with motion blur effect)

[Capeta]

Wow the GC was really juggling a huge number of polys in RE4 with multiple characters and very detailed environments.

I knew that. I just find it kinda cool how they reduced the actual polycount from the first game and that it isn't readily obvious. Though it must take up a lot more memory, right? (ooh ah... big deal ). I wonder what they did exactly for the Halo 3 model (beyond the glove change and higher resolution normal maps).

[joker454]

Cool post, always interesting to see stats from other games.

[warb]

"In Lost Planet, each character is 10-20K polys. A VS robot is 30-40K polys. A background is about 500K. With shadows and other hidden rendering cost, it's about 3 million polys per frame. In Dead Rising, it's about 4 million polys."

Seriously, those guys are lunatics. The Jak series of games are one of my favorites, I'm crossing my fingers that they make a PS3 Jak title. Anyone have geometry numbers for God Of War 2? I just started playing this, and it just blows me away what they got the good 'ol PS2 to render.

I wonder what is the polycount for Lair. Look at polygon water effect! You can see polygon water, city, dragons, everything at 1080P. Amazing for me to see. Also GT5 which has amazing car details for 60fps 1080P.

Xbox360 also has one or two amazing games for polygons. I think probably Kameo has some scenes with amazing polygons. Look at thousands of trolls! Look at beautiful buildings, grass and trees!

Uncharted's hero character is pretty high poly too, especially the ingame cinematics version... At least 20K but maybe even more, because of the hair.

They're all pretty lowpoly individually, though. Plenty of visible polygon edges on everything...

Even the enemy's shield is nice and round, not edged. Background mountains are also nice and round.

I do not see much edges my friend, only sometimes on parts of the dragon, because of less animation bones for that part like wings or tail.

Very cool thread, I agree with the sticky!

Gears is already names... lets see... oh, PGR3. Cars: 80,000-120,000 polys per car. About half for the exteriors, half for the interiors.

Did someone mention GT5 cars are 200k each?

Yeah GT:5 cars are 200k each, and snakes beard in MGS4 is more polys then one enemy in MGS3

If we want to do this properly, which isn't a bad idea although stickies themselves are to be kept to a minimum (how about a linkage index thread that links to 'valuable' threads so people don't need to search for them?), people need to add sources. Otherwise they could just be making them up.

Other than that, I'll just add that the dog character in the PS1 game Kurushi Final was made out of 120,000 polygons!!!...

That said, I'd prefer an actual dedicated repository that would be linked to in OP; having it all in here gives way for it to be lost in discussion.

If an official poly-count repository is wanted, we can create a thread just for that, no discussion, and update it with info. People can post in new figures into the thread and I can edit them into the OP and remove the post. That'd be a very clean system open to user contribution.

Some cars have around 85,000 polygons, but many go as high as 105,000. The McLaren F1 LM (my favourite PGR3 car!) clocked in at over 100,000. Obviously these counts include the car interiors as well as the exteriors, but they don't include the extra geometry to display car damage, which can add between 10,000 and 20,000 more triangles per car.

Always nice to have the original source.

Btw, maybe not a sticky thread for this... but maybe a stickied post with "Links to our Favorite Console 3D/Technology Discussion Threads" or something or the other?
