performance library

[DonaemouS]

Often the plugin developers ask about polygons, performance, tweaking and optimizations aimed for slower Macs. Well, with this thread, I would to make available informations about my plugin cars.

They are, perhaps, the hungriest in video card performance and VRAM, and they may impact performance on certain Macs. Now, if you are developing a car, and want to know how will run in Redline, here a compare table:

Plug-in name	Body Model	Interior Model	Wheels	Textures Count	Shadow Model
Cadillac XLR v2.0	4366	1869	728 each	10/4,7MB	156
Cadillac XLR-V v2.0	4374	1869	744 each	10/4,7MB	156
BMW M5 E39 v2.1	4150	NA	700 each	21/3,5MB	2838
Volvo S60R v1.3	3539	2447	692 each	21/5,0MB	156
Audi S6 Avant v1.0	4334	2703	892 each	17/7,0MB	48*
Mercedes E63 AMG	3516	1749	732 each	14/7,1MB	156
Cadillac CTS-V	3058	2265	911 each	11/3,2MB	156

NB: Body, Interior and Wheels in triangulated polygons, Texture count without flavors, weight without colors, just the first one.

This is by no means properly counted but I thought I'd throw it out for the laughs!

Track	Total Faces	Textures	Number of Models
Black Forest	~58,000 (not triangulated! )	~55/12Mb	200
