Hi,
I am busy doing my daily work and has not to much time to work on Puma
.
Here is a little post about some ideas about wheel optimalization. My Puma model has 8 big wheels and they has consumed a lot of polygons. So I have decided to optimaze them:
Front of the wheel:
I have separated the cup and joined vertexes of the tyre (changing quads to triangles). Then I have moved cup to the starting position.
back of wheel:
I have made simillar operation, but now I have exchanged 8-sided central part with simple quad, that I have put inside the wheel.
I will UV map this parts of wheel using planar projection, so everything should work fine.
In this way I have started with 204 triangles per wheel and after this optimalization I have ended with 176. It gives 28 spare triangles. Maybe it is not too much but Puma has 8 wheels - it gives 224 spare triangles
This method may give even better results in tank with 12-16 wheels.
Let me know what you think about it.
Cheers,
sethodie
