Thx for the info Gisteron.

Now here’s a new planetary base.

Name: Smuggler desert camp
Poly count: 1636

http://solcommand.blogspot.com/2011/01/smuggler-desert-camp.html

Inspired by Red Faction isn’t it? Buildings and deffence towers look almost the same.
Much respect SolCommand, but when do the station docking bays come? I’m curious to see them already.

Gisteron

or battleship bridges

SolCommand

Hehe, cheers. I actually thought about what would Freelancer need and the base for pirates / junkers came in my mind.

About the others, hold your horses guys, these models don’t grow in trees Speaking of trees, I just got this feeling that I need to watch Avatar again … for some inspiration and some eye-candy scenery.

About the texture, I use something called Fireworks. I don’t use Photoshop cause I have no idea how to use it, yeah I know, lame, but hey, I have the other software for so many years that it’s practically part of my family now, why change it

SolCommand

OK, just started working on a hangar inspired by something from EVE Online, if I like how it turns out I’ll post it here for download.

Gisteron, about the battleship bridges, feel free to post pics

Gisteron

hm, thought of something custom but if you need inspiration, here we go

Stargate Daedalus Bridge view window
Star Trek Galaxy Class Variant Bridge
Macross Quarter Bridge
Galactica Class Battlestar CIC

anyway… a combination with most accent on the star trek or stargate bridge would be great imo. maybe someone would however request a different intonation.

SolCommand

About the bridge, I need to know exactly how or for what would such a model be used. You just want the player to be able to see outside like from a fighter cockpit or something ?

StarTrader

I think there will be no glass, just banks of huge bendable display panels inside closed hulls with live external and command panel views.

Never liked windows on spaceships!

Gisteron

yes, SC, the cockpit view is primary target with that… however, it would ofc be cool if after resizing the model could be also used for cutscenes, one day (with the new mission scripter guess i’ll give a custom storyline a try, too, once the main concepts are implemented)

SolCommand

Hey guys

Just wanted to let you know I need to cancel my current projects as I’ve joined the efforts led by Lancer Solurus in creating a new game called “Galaxy Empire” so I will be concentrating my efforts on that for a while. If time allows it I’ll still post a model here from time to time for you guys to use as you wish.

Cya later

StarTrader

Gonna miss you Sol.

I am looking at these planetary bases and wondering, what is the max polygon limit for them, and for the cityscapes?

Gisteron

there is none. there are sensible amounts and non sensible amounts but in general, 20k-1 is the limit for each vmeshdata node you are wanting the compound file to contain.

the only thing I can understand from this sentence is 20k …but that is enough, thnx for the info

SolCommand

Hey guys, here’s a new model i just finished. It’s a planetary docking gate.

Enjoy

Yeah, it does look a lot like a jumpgate.

SolCommand

I guess it’s 2 for the price of 1
