<pre>3D-Models:

Walls/Windows/Stairs etc.: ~12-100 Triangles

Statues: ~300-1500  Triangles

Tables/Chests: ~100  Triangles

LOD creation rules:

Every object above 300 Triangles must have at least two LODs (LOD0 and LOD1) with LOD1 around 150 triangles.   

reduce material IDs. more important than removing polygons is the reduction of material ids on your objects.

Ideally the last LOD has only one render material ID assigned.

The difference in polygons from one LOD to the next step should be around 50% (1200 - 600 - 300).

Textures:

Size: ~512x512 (but can be any Size ... think of using one Texture for more Models using UVM)

Format: tga/dds/png

24-bit truecolor images with an 8-bit alpha channel
