Is 8-9K triangles gun lag for phones and pc?

[Andamanians (AndamaniansTheDev)]

Hey there developers!

I have a commission with someone yesterday and he said he want the gun compatible with mobile and the gun has 8-9K triangles, is 8-9K triangle lag for phones and how much triangles should be for this high, mid poly gun?, also what thing in the gun should I change to textures to reduce the triangles

Do lots of meshparts cause performance issues?

I’m making a very large game and I was curious as to whether lots and lots of meshparts (100k+) will cause any performance issues, aside from the poly count. These are all very low poly meshes, but I have a LOT of them so I was curious if that was going to be a problem. Please let me know if I’m posting this in the wrong section or if there are any similar topics I missed, I’m kind of new to posting on here.

Polygon count for phones - What would make phones lag too much

I will start off by saying: Yes, I know there are many types of phones, and there will always be some that lag in any game. As a phone example I will use the iphone 8 My problem is that I don’t know how many polygons should I use for my cars in a racing game, I want it to be compatible with phones, without reducing quality too much for pc users, what would be your recomended polygon count? (8 cars at most during a race) I have heard thar around 10k should be fine, but I am not sure about this. …

As for mobile, I’m not precisely sure the exact range you should aim for since there are many different phones with differing capabilities, but the general idea is to keep it as low as you can. 8-9k is a bit high for a mesh for a rifle like that, but it’s alright if you’re aiming for maximum detail. Now, as for texturing, it’s dependent on how detailed your game will be. Assuming you’re going for mobile I would recommend removing the round bolt things (idk what they’re called) and replacing them in the texture. In 3d modeling, the rounder an object is the more triangles there will be. I would personally go around the mesh reducing the amount of vertices on smooth areas such as the stock and the bolt, maybe even the grip. I’m not looking at a wireframe so I can’t give much help but that’s what I would reccomend.
