Hi
I wold like to know if it’s possible to have different avatars playing on networking (smartfox server) …
Thanks

Yes (of course…), this should have nothing to do with networking limitations. Unless your question was about the amount of avatars you can have running at the same time, even though we can’t answer that here on the forum as it’s very specific to the kind of game/setup.

I have a 3D mall under developing and I want to have
over 100 ppl or avatars at the same room or shop. They all can see each other and move around. It’s a
pretty crowded scene, and I am wondering if Unity+SmartfoxServer will be able to handle it.
I guess Server side will not be a problem, the client side will. Am I right? Anybody has tried to develop this kind of scenario? Can you share your experience? Many kudos !

I haven’t used smartfox, but I don’t see 100 avatars on screen as a problem, as long as they are reasonably low poly, much like GusM’s offerings in the collaboration board.

There are others here that know a lot more about smartfox though and there are other solutions too.

Good luck with your project :slight_smile:

Thanks. And the low Poly avatar we plan to have has at least 1000+ Ploygons each. can 100 this at one scene be a problem to Unity3D?

depends on the hardware its meant to run on.

Test it and you will know it basically

Hehe, believe or not, the kind of hardware I plan to run on is my low end laptop:

CPU: Intel Pentium Dual CPU T2370 @1.73GHz
RAM: 2G
OS: Windows Vista 32 bits

Most of my targeted users are not gamers, they don’t have powerful machines at home or at work. Yet, they do regularly buy stuffs online. Any ideas this will work with 100 avatars (1000+ ploygons)?

I’m always looking for a solution to instantiate at least 3 differents characters with smartfoxserver as backend…
Any ideas or advices ??
