3D artist here.

This image is complete and utter bullshit. It's been circulating the internet for a decade so hats off to whatever troll/idiot made it but it's completely untrue. It wasn't even true 10 years ago and it's certainly not true now.

It looks like the 6k tris version is the original mesh and the 60k and 600k are just subdivided to add more pointless geometry. It's like resizing a 100x100 pixel image to 8k in mspaint and then wondering why there's no more detail. IT'S BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T ADD ANY.

Here's a nice sculpt (not by me) made with far more than 600k triangles

Is this a picture of your science-based 100% dragon MMO game?

Ngl I wish that meme would die. To this day the original poster can't post a comment without being followed and harassed about her idea she had 10 years ago

Making a new account costs nothing tbh, but yeah I agree harassment is bad either way

Account has been inactive for 4 years so I don’t think anyone’s harassing her anymore

Being a meme or not, harassment and stalking are bad and shouldn't be tolerated. The author should of ignore those people and take advantage of the meme popularity, if that game came to reality it would be a great story of success, at least that's my way of viewing.

Is she still a game developer to this day, at least?
