Face Count / Poly Count

[SorceressSFM]

Hi All, does anyone know why SU's face count differs from the poly count exported to Kerkythea by quite a bit? When I export to Kerk when the export process is finished it tells me the number of triangles exported. That number is sometimes twice the size of the face count...My theory is that softened or rounded out faces don't read correctly on the face count. In other words the individual faces in the hidden geometry of a curved edge or face no longer gets counted as individual polys..

Thoughts?

The poly count in SU is just that, the number of polygons. As you say, after export to kerkythea your told the number of triangles, and as lots of faces in SU wont be triangles, theyll have to be triangulated and thus create more triangles where before their werent any.

And...That! Makes perfect sense..thank you!
