| How many triangles can a single mesh have, or is it hardware/memory related? |

| Blitz3D uses Direct3D 7. Therefore, we have to deal with its own imposed limitations. The number of triangles shouldn't pass 32767. The number of vertices cannot pass 65535. Check the "Sample hardware capabilities" table in this article: http://www.multiversemmo.com/site/w/index.php/Creating_Assets_for_a_Wide_Range_of_Hardware |

| This implies that if multiple triangles share vertices, you can have more triangles than if each triangle uses it's own vertices. (welded vs unwelded) |

| I think it's more like a 32k triangle/vertex limit per surface, before you start getting problems. |
