As of July 21st 2011, Team Fortress 2 has over 261 items and very few of them have LOD meshes. LOD meshes activate when the model is a set distance away from the player, and in many cases the game is rendering an incredible amount of polygons that it doesn't have to with LOD meshes.
You can help! We're trying to get LOD meshes for every weapon, hat, and misc item in the game in an attempt to get Team Fortress 2 running smoother for everyone. More information can be found at the [URL="http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Model_Optimization"]Team Fortress 2 wiki.[/URL][/quote]

Luigi Thirty and Irish Taxi Driver are working on a project to help bring LOD models into TF2. Many items in TF2 do not have an optimized versions, meaning that even at far distances TF2 has to load thousands of polygons at any given time, one of the biggest cases of this is the Lubricus Lid which has ~4.6K polys. Being one of the people who have older PC's I tend to struggle running the game, usually having to resort to Dx8.1 and lowest settings. Hopefully if we can spread the word about this effort to bring LOD to tf2, we can help those with weaker PCs, and in general have TF2 run smoother for everyone.
Anyone can help, and there is a basic guideline found [URL]http://173.230.130.208/LODUpdate/help.php[/URL].

Also sorry if OP post is lacking, I don't have photoshop and don't have any cool banners and stuff like that.
If you only play on small enclosed maps like, say 2Fort or something, you wouldn't really need this, as most of the time you don't see others players, thus they wouldn't be rendered. Although it would be great if you played Dustbowl alot.
Keep up the good work.
I always play this shit maxed out graphix.
But the low-poly items look hilarious! Keep it up I guess.

Correction. Do not rely on such machines for the work of men. Anyway, the LODs should work. Unless sv_pure 1, and it's goodbye framerate for you.
I call dibs on the tomislav.
I [i]called[/i] dibs. He'll add me tonight he said.
Good luck, hope you guys make good progress on this
I'm gonna try and start working on some of the models, see if I'm any good at it.
Luigi Thirty needs to be fixing his damn TF2TP and not working on more projects
Dumb because its true.
Thanks for further proving my point.
love it 10/10 can't wait for it to be finished
My god, the polycount of the Battalion's Backup is so high, it should be illegal!
