[Model] Floating Flag Poll for BF Pirates 2

[Rhino]

Since I'm finishing up the final touches on my BFP2 map "Dead Man's Reef" which you can read more about HERE, since 1/2 of my flags on the map are in the middle of the water with nothing to put them on I decided to make a flag on a buoy type thing kinda like BF1942's water flags

Used the BFP2 flag poll (which I've optimized and made new LODs and COLs for too ) and then crated a wooden raft with also using some of BFP2's barrels for extra buoyancy tied onto the raft
I was tempted to put rope round all the logs etc but 7k tris so pretty poly heavy as it is for a flag poll hehe
Took me around 7hrs to make this, although it was only really making the raft, the rope, the lods and cols etc since the flag poll and the barrels where from BFP2
Hopefully this will be in the next BFP2 release with my map that should be coming soon with any luck

Anyways some ingame pics




Render (Note only the detail layer showing, no colour, dirt, normal etc layers):

col0 is that for collision? 1500 tris isnt that a bit too much for a collision on a static
anyhow looks nice

You should install it when the new release comes out

col0 is the decal collision yes, ie, what bullets etc hit. It is pretty high considering that its extra tris dont do much for gameplay etc but nothing that large over what most other things would have.

Ok just thought if all of the objects have the same accurate collision would cause a preformance drop 1500+ TRIs
i.e. preformance drop in .9 due to huge collisions on new maps

If you look right at the bottom of that post there you can see the cols I made for my container handling crane




Dont say how much each one is but the col0 for that is 3700 tris excatly hehe, although its a much large and more complicated object which requires thous many more tris, you can see it doesn't have any significant impact on Muttrah's performance

Its only when you have an ultra high col0 that's around the same amount of tris and its lod0 is when you get any real issues.
