Asset Limit in a Frame

Ever wanted to know what the asset limit would look like in a single frame? I did.

Name: The Garden
Base: Empty Ground Map
- Asset Limit: 558 (buildings + detailed objects) UPDATE: For this project, it is 558.)
- Assets used: 558 (corrected - 7/16/17)

Description:
"The Garden" is not a playable map. It was made just for this one screenshot which, minus a glass wall and invisible platform, shows all 450 assets this map allows. Other maps should have higher limits, the highest I've seen being something like 700.

I could've used more props since you don't really need to worry about the limit if you don't plan to publish your mission. However, exceeding the limit wasn't the point of this particular project. I'll try that next time.
This was just to see how detailed something could get if you didn't have to worry about making it playable.

    Thanks!

    I don't suppose anyone would like to see me try something else? If so, any suggestions?

    Looks like I'll try to make something Enterprise themed. Just need to figure out what.

    Noticed something interesting today. I'm working on something (secret stuff) on the same base map as The Garden and I'm reaching a higher asset limit, which is 678 (compared to 540). :/ Not sure why I was hitting a lower limit the last time. Any thoughts on this?

    Methinks I need to do a "The Garden" redux in the future.

    Hm... Maybe some of the more complex objects count extra towards the limit?

    Could be. Just checked and I'm still not allowed any more objects without getting the warning. So much for the redux.

    Although I did a recount and found there were actually 558 assets used and not 540. Not sure what I missed last time, nor even how they were missed.
