Modeling Miffy's weapons.

Posted By: Tek Date: 12/9/06 10:44 p.m.

Am I the only person who noticed that the HQ Weapons for Miffy arent actually HQ? They look pretty much the same as the blocky originals.
Anyway. I decided to model Marathon: Infinity's weapons and texture them while I'm at it. Both HUD and pickup versions planned. Now the reason why Im posting is because I'm no programmer and I have no idea of Aleph One's limits and possibilities. So before I go I'd like to know just a few things:
Firstly are there any poly limits? If there are, whats the max amount of polys I can use safely?
Second is animation. Does Aleph One support md3 animation? Or any kind of animation at all? I'd like to break the 3-4-frame sprite animation limit (if a sprite is to be replaced by a model)and animate a model freely.
Third, file format. I'd like to know all 3D formats Aleph One supports (MD3 and MD2 preferred.
Texture resolution. 256x256 or 512x512?
Thanks in advance =)
