Well I've decided to make some content in my spare time when I'm taking a little break from another Source mod I'm working (Also a James Bond mod yayyy!)

I mainly make all of my maps inside 3DS Max and/or Hammer depending on the situation. Now Hammer/Source can handle a lot of cool geometry created with the 'brushes.'

What sort of limits are there in regards to this and also does it have to be brushes or can it be polygons as in flat plaines and the likes.

I've seen a few of the maps from GE64 and noticed that there seems to be mostly polygons and not brushes.

If i choose to make my own custom content for my maps what sort of poly limit would a standard prop have? I know that the game is pretty old and i am used to working with engines that require low poly counts.

So if somebody could go over limitations and such that'd be great!

There are settings per level, but generally I've found, that each room shouldn't be more than 500 triangles, and to not have lag or blackout, you shouldn't have more than 2000-3000 in rooms loaded at once for the background file. It's all triangles. I imagine it's quite a bit lower than half-life levels or whatever that is based one.
