3D MAX TUTORIALS

 

Polygon Counter Dialog

Utilities panel > Utilities rollout > More button > Utilities dialog > Polygon Counter

The Polygon Counter dialog shows the number of faces in the current scene, as well as the number of faces in the current selection set. Use the spinners on this dialog to set a budget for both of these values. A bar graph changes from green to yellow to red as you approach and exceed the allocated budget.

Procedure

To use the Polygon Counter:

  1. On the Utilities panel > Utilities rollout, click the More button and choose the Polygon Counter.

  2. Set the spinner on All Objects to create the polygon budget for the entire scene.

  3. Select any individual object and set the polygon budget for the individual object.

  4. When you exceed your limit the graph line will display its end in red.

Interface

Selected Objects/All Objects—Displays two numbers and color bar indicators showing the number of faces in the scene for selected objects and the number of faces in the scene for all objects. The Polygon Counter will include any closed spline shapes in the face count, as well as all mesh objects.

Current—Displays the number of faces currently in the scene.

Budget—Displays a number of faces allowed in the scene for your budget.

Close—Closes the polygon counter.
