View poly count

How do you view poly count in TGEA? metrics("video"); doesnt work. It says that the tri count is 0.

GFX->SetRenderState( D3DRS_FILLMODE, D3DFILL_WIREFRAME );
Your poly's count - better take care about it in your modelling platform.
I use 3D MAX with an utility PolyCounter.

A good idea (for wireframe) is to touch the the render device:GFX->SetRenderState( D3DRS_FILLMODE, D3DFILL_WIREFRAME );

at the bottom of :
void GFXD3DDevice::setVideoMode( const GFXVideoMode &mode, bool updatePlatformWindow )
{....
//put here
mD3DDevice->SetRenderState( D3DRS_FILLMODE, D3DFILL_WIREFRAME );
}
compile
then change your resolution in runtime.

For poly count, I dont mean just 1 object, I mean the whole scene inside torque.

Also, the wireframe doesnt work. I see my gui's are wireframes but i cant see that actual geometry.

Just change your resolution in runtime (ctrl+o by default) with another and apply it.

It works, i tested it - my geometry is wired....may be you have a driver option issue somewhere.Just change your resolution in runtime (ctrl+o by default) with another and apply it.

Ok I did get it to work, but it makes the GUI's wireframes too. How would you make it so everything but the gui's were rendered with wireframe?
