Question by pickledzebra · Jul 02, 2010 at 07:53 PM · graphicspolygonprimitives

Is it possible to control the polygon count of Unity's graphcis primitives?

Title pretty much says it all.

Not really, no - you're generally best making your primitives in a 3d modeling program

If you just want a low polygon plane creator, there is one on the wiki:

Thanks! Making my own. Nice difference in performance.

I get a few compile errors and the instructions call to place the file in Assets/Editor but I don't have an Editor file unless I create one. Is this for an earlier version of Unity or Unity pro?

Nevermind, for those as clueless as I was you just add an Editor folder and the rest takes care of itself.

The primitives are models made in a 3D app (Maya, if I recall correctly). They're not mathematically generated in Unity or anything.
