FIGURE 3.92
Although there is a difference of 604 polygons between these two hands,
you can't tell when they're viewed in the game.
One hand has 1010 polygons, but the other has only 406. Using the second, lower-resolu-
tion version could save you 604 polygons, freeing up precious processor power. And this
isn't the lowest we can go; we can reduce the number of polygons even further.
Look at
Figure 3.93
;
these are some of the hands in my Morgue. You can see how they
differ. You could remove some of the fingers if they will not be needed, merging them so
they are no longer individual; or you could merge them all, leaving a mitten-type hand.
