Its tiny (32x32 or something like that) environment maps drawn in a variety of ways with different strengths on different segments of the character models to give the illusion of clothing/ metal/ hair/ skin speculars. The whole ttt, sc2, sc3 material isnt actual material. The lighting calculations eat away at your scene complexity due to lack of tnl. Probably developers didnt feel it was worth investing time on these things than anything else really. There are homebrew demos of bloom and depth of field for the dc, so hardware can do it but it seems there would performance penalties to take into depends on the effect. Funny enough they considred soul calibur 2 for dc as lead platform but decided against and used ps2 instead, they seem to complain dc used yuv textures.Ĭlick to expand.Its less actual limitations and more like performance issues when it comes to lighting and post process.

And all these is much higher than psp tekken5. Overall in the scene detail is a similar count to doa2 due to the fact the stage being 20k. So its characters are actually lower than doa2 and ttt, if you ever extracted silent hill 2 model its similar to the main character which around 4.5k triangles. So basically each soul calibur 2 character is around 4,000 polygons and the stage is around 20,000 they said. On the subject of soul calibur 2, I spoke to someone who has a book on japanese developers art that included interviews with dev teams of soul calibur 2. They took a similar approach in Sc2 and expanded that alot in sc3. TTT probably does look better due to all the environments mapsthey did on the characters to imitate different types of materials. The polygon allocation is mostly on the face and less on the hands, probably what gives the illusion of more detail than doa 2 who were crazy enough to model their finger nails and other nonsense. I cant speak for the stages of TTT but the characters are much lower.

Characters in tekken tag tournament are actually 2,000 to 3,000 lower triangles compared to dead or alive 2. Namco were really good artist and it shows, look at naomi mazan and you will pretty much see all tell tale signs of namcos style.
