How many polygons can Cipher render?
The answer to this question depends on a great number of factors. The most important factor is the machine you are running Cipher on. Other things that will effect the final polygon count include the following… • The screen resolution and colour depth. Higher resolutions and more colours take longer to draw. • The complexity of the triangles. Simple textured triangles will draw more quickly than complex bump mapped triangles. It is easy to create very complex effects in Cipher, and the more complex these effects are, the more expensive to draw they are. It is fair to say that Cipher is able to push the 3D hardware in your computer very hard indeed. The engine and its tools have been carefully optimised to squeeze every last drop of performance from your machine, while making it as easy as possible to create stunning effects and fun games.
