this site has a review for this program that reduces polygon count, and still have the same look. For Ex. a charaters face has 100 polygons it will reduce it to about 40 - 50 polygons without changing the model.

Now the Dreamcast can interpret 5million polygons a frame, so could this mean better graphics on the Dreamcast ? and it is possible for the dreamcast to use ?

More like 5 million per second, which is ~ 83000 per frame

i know that a frame is per second, every second is a frame

i know that a frame is per second, every second is a frame

? - A second is like 24, 25, 30, 50, or 60 frames. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_frame

[BB Hood]

There are 60 frames in a second

[Christuserloeser]

Where ?

[BlueCrab]

Always in NTSC regions.

[Christuserloeser]

NTSC is displayed at approximately 29.97 frames per second. - [1]

60i (interlaced; 59.94 to be more precise; 50i= 50 frames in Europe and Australia) is the standard video field rate per second (60 interlaced fields = 29.97 frames) that has been used for television for decades, whether from a broadcast signal, rented DVD, or home camcorder. - [2]


The Dreamcast however does output 60p via VGA.

i just wanna know is this program beneficial to the dreamcast, sorry for a typo no ones perfect

well of course it can be useful if your game engine lags because the models you use have too much polygons.
