Complexity covers lights, shadows, post FX and overdraw. More effects leave fewer triangles in budget.

Hero share
40%
Hero share is how much of the scene budget goes to a handful of close-up models versus background filler.

Pro Tips
Draw calls bite before triangles. On mobile and web, batching and material count often cap you sooner than raw poly count.
Build LODs from the start. A distant asset at full detail wastes the whole frame's budget.
Normal maps over geometry. Bake small detail into maps. Keep silhouettes in mesh, surface detail in textures.
Offline is different. For CGI stills and film, subdivision and displacement matter more than a hard triangle cap.
