Oh, by the way, spent hours on testing everything with a RTS plus FPS game, bones, lod, skin size, dds compared to tga, poly, and your momma, I have tested all that shit out beyond belief, just fyi. I didn't just make up is 3DGS is dying.
[emphasis added]
Nor did I make up that I was busting out nearly 5 million polys on-screen all bones-animated with more than 60 frames per second on my old computer. The way you wrote your original post, it looks like you just played the exact same thing in A8 and expected huge performance boosts. That's the wrong way to go about it. Features have been added that allow us to improve performance drastically.
But, hey, good luck with your game. I really do hope it goes well.
