Attack of the Candelabras (Patreon)

An army of candelabras. 317,000,000,000 triangles full of them. Ready to attack.

These are fun, but the tests are meaningful. Kyle did some math:"Of course the secret is you're not really looking at 317 billion tris. That's the total of all the meshes in the scene, but Nanite [the new UE5 program] reduces their tris count the further away you get. It's a glorified LOD system, if I had to describe it in a few probably inaccurate words. And if you factor in that you'll never see everything on the ship at once, and not laid out like the chairs and candelabra are, then you'll never come close to seeing that many tris' worth of meshes, even if the whole ship were there in high-poly."

So in the scene above we are looking at not 317 billion triangles/polygons in these thousands of candelabras which are providing 50-60 fps, but 504 Titanics.
