Which character model is currently using the most polygons?

Yeah that can't be right.
I know it's an actual quote from a Dev, but still.
Aloy probably takes the cake either way, but 100k triangles on hair alone..I just don't see it.

Thunder Jaw in Horizon has 500k polygons alone. pretty sure that counts as a character.
Mass Effect had some great looking character models too. Not sure what the polygon count is though.
Besides, i think it's all about skin shaders now. Both U4 and Horizon character models look stunning and i dont ever remember them saying them touting the poly count.

Aren't Forzas highest LOD car models in the millions in Forza 6?
..or are we just talking human characters, haha?
HZD has to be pretty high I'm sure. I wonder what the polycount on the most advanced PC game character models is?
Edit** I'm playing through Until Dawn right now, for the first time. I'd like to know the count there too.

Its probably partly using tesselation, graphics cards can throw around a lot of polygons now. I wont guess at how many exactly though.
The main Characters From ME:A are around 75K , so i don't think they are on Higher Poly count.
I agree. This generation of games has brought us character models with really great skin shaders. Visible pores, semi translucent skin, etc. - It's not (just) the polygons that make Nathan Drake look lifelike.
Of course, those Horizon models are incredibly detailed, too. super impressive.
Hmm, searching around the most detailed real time character model may be WITCH CHAPTER 0 from Microsoft/Square Enix's Direct X 12 demo.
She had 11 Million polygons from her hair to body.
6 Million polys in the hair and 2 million polys in the feathers alone.

It also took 4 Titan Xs to run, haha.

I didn't mean the physics itself, I meant that when the hair is flexed on Tomb raider it's usually very round but on Horizon you can make out the polygons, but I didn't thought of the volume and braids (is it really how it's called?) that surely add up.

I remember reading Raziel in Soul Reaver 2 was going to be made from 5000 polygons, and I think it even said that his character model in the first game had 500. The level of increased detail each gen is crazy. I bet Kratos in GOW3 had one of the highest counts last gen because he looked crazy detailed, and still looks very impressive in the remaster.
Sounds like his time has passed tbh.
Thunder Jaw in Horizon has 500k polygons alone. pretty sure that counts as a character.
Intricately following every minute detail from illustration to model must of been an absolute chore.
Or hell, doing every angle of that in illustration must of been worse.
I remember for a long time high polycounts was not considered something to be proud of due to inefficiency. But now with years of gaming modeling experience in the industry and the ability to push high poly count in real time the results have just been insane.
We are so far beyond 'Toy Story 2' in terms of aesthetics I honestly don't even know what the 'unreachable goal' is supposed to be anymore.

Thought I'd see what I could find and this was surprising:
"Kratos himself is an extremely detailed model, though it's interesting to note that the raw polygon count is considerably lower than the 35,000 or so that comprise the in-game model of Nathan Drake in Uncharted 2."

Oot wouldn't use many polygons, even the whole game. Should not surprise anyone
Realtime raytracing and 'perfect' AA
Beowulf is the next benchmark probably
I get how this is that next step, but it seems like such a boring goal compared to "looking like Toy Story". Its feels much more mechanical and its not immediately apparent unless you have side by side of the effect on and off especially since prebaked lighting has been nigh perfected (ie Frostbite).

I really need to play Nier Automata.
The potential of realtime raytracing is by no means boring considering it's applications.

Man, you sure are itching to get to the bottom of this one.

counting things that are not games, nor meant to be optimized, probably that crystal monster on the Time Spy benchmark.
I think the N64 can't handle scenes with more than maybe 1-2 thousand polygons. I know the DS is hard-capped at 2048 per frame. Of course there's the question how you count enemies that appear repeatedly and such but I'd place the upper bound at around 100k for the entire game. Hm, someone could probably count the number of polygons declared in the OOT ROM's model data, that won't catch everything but the rest should be limited to simple effects that don't take a significant number.
I bet 2B's butt also has more texels than all of OOT.
Though realistically I think the butt is going to lose this

Back-side culling.
While my expertise is mostly in the virtual Ubisoft brand vaginas, I can hopefully shed some light on this issue.

This blog gives a rough estimation of 100,000 polys for PS4 character models which we can assume includes 2B.
From this concept art I estimate 2B's lower waist area to be around 20% of her total person. We must then estimate that around 2/3 of this area are the backside and constitute as pure butt. From these calculations we arrive at 13.33% for the rear endeture of the android known as 2B and can then conclude that 13.33% of 100,000 is 13,300 polygons.

Okay, I found a site that has just about all of the Ocarina of Time models, including the environments. Just need to open up the Obj file and view it in Maya or 3D Builder. This will take a while.
Adult Link (low poly): 371 polys
Young Link: 693 polys
Anju: 392 polys
Honey and Darling: 503 polys
Darunia: 415 polys
Adult Epona: 491 polys

That's without his equipment right?
Mario in Mario 64 was 700+ polys so Link's numbers seem too low to me.

Whaaat? Naahh man. 2B's bum is easily over 50% of her total polygon count. Prolly just under 70%. Literally takes up my whole screen though.

Yeah, that's without his equipment
Also, that was his low-poly mesh. Gonna have to go find the regular one somewhere.
The best part about these models is that everyone looked this good. I hate games where only the main character and a handful of characters look good but the rest look like shit.

The skin colors they used for these characters is fantastic! The pictures do it no true justice, in game though? Absolutely wonderful! <3
I think you are being influenced by Platinum's optimal camera placement technology a.k.a Buttcam.

Next next gen can't come soon enough.
I really hope next gen is stuff like this at 1080p rather than what we got now at 4k.

Do we have a number for Trico? He has to have a ton.
No way. Next gen will be a 4K 30fps pissing fest. We're at least two generations away from these kinds of visuals.
