    160181If the above fix doesn't help, it's possible the Blender importer will be unable to import the model. This could be because the model has skeletal animations or other incompatible features.

    244265=== Polygon Count Limits ===
    245 Pyrogenesis supports real time strategy games. RTS games have large numbers of entities on the screen at one time at a small scale. Due to this small scale, the total polygon limits are rather low compared to the average first person shooter. This is a list of recommended max poly counts for 3D Modelers to take into account with making 3D models.
    246 
    247 Humanoid Bodies – 500[[BR]] Animal Bodies – 700[[BR]] Humanoid and Building Props – 50[[BR]] World Objects – 150[[BR]] Buildings – 800
    248 
    249 Note: Engine DOES NOT support Double-Sided polys - don`t use them. If double sided polys are required, duplicate geometry must be created with the normals flipped.

    252269=== Level of Detail ===
    253270Because the models in the game will be small on screen and because the poly counts must be kept low, anything smaller than a human hand should not be modeled but included in texturing.
