The texturing is like tomb raider for playstation, still quite nice :thumbsup:. Those skulls though are just waay to high in polycount. Maybe start off with a 10 poly cylinder or shape, then try to slightly get form to it. Also i dont know exactly mike but the fire that she has made out of particles.. are you allowed to use that in games? Or should it be a plane that rotates to your camera angle. Keep it up though, good job.

The skulls could probably lose some polys...will go through them and see what can be done. I reduced divisions in one direction, but don't remember if I did so in the other. I also used the "soften" in order to round it out for the screens. If I shouldn't then...I'll undo that and take new ones with changes user added image

The fire was place more for an indicator of what it was than anything else. It looked like a really evil birdbath without the fire user added image

If it needs to be a plane, then that's cool too, but how do I make it rotate with camera angle?

Thanks again for comments!
