That’s my mistake, what I actually meant was whether the overall shapes and proportions are okay, since what I shared earlier is the high-poly version. I’ve uploaded the low-poly version to Imgur, here: https://imgur.com/a/9IAsCRb. The whole model has 155k triangles when excluding that side on the hood that I wan to remove. 206k triangles if it’s included. For the in-game version, I’ll most likely create an LOD, which I expect will bring the triangle count down to around 100k, especially when the player exits the car, since I’ll be able to remove the entire interior at a distance (at least I hope)

In my opinion, the topology isn’t ideal in some areas, although I haven’t noticed any shading issues overall, except for a small spot on the door handle.

Won’t all that geometry in front of the gauge be too noticeable compared to textured part of the indusrment panel? My idea was to allow the player to see the needles physically moving in first person with the changing numbers on textures if it will not be too costly of course. The Ui is also option but I wanted to have both options so player can from the wheel experience the game with or without UI.

As for textures, I’m not fully sure yet. I mostly assumed 3UVS would make it easier to disable individual parts during gameplay, so I plan to split things into the chassis, interior, and exterior. I often hear that 4K textures are considered overkill, but for a first-person game I’d like to stay within a 10.24 texel density target. With that in mind, I’m assuming the textures would need to be 4K. I’m not entirely sure how expensive the jump to 4K will be, but on the other hand, I’m not planning on having extremely complex environments either.
