B777 Optimizations
In case you missed it during XCub development: Since adding high polygon models into a mobile simulator isn’t currently possible where there can be up to 5 million for an aircraft, our 3D artists are tasked with optimizing the model using various techniques. By taking a simplified model and using techniques like texture sweeps to create color textures, and ambient occlusion, beautiful low poly models can be created. After the optimized model is ready, and all the textures (Color, AO, etc.), the model in the engine looks like a high polygon.
