3D Model Showroom

65,355 iirc that is the number or total on screen at any point? ive slept since finding out the awnser

Not total on screen, but total pollies per part of an object. At least that’s what I’ve been told to believe from many sources. The total amount of pollies a single .cmp file can hold if devided into all 18 parts is 1,176,390 pollies. But your frame rate will be more shot than a target at a firing range by then.

The max pollies per scene is rendered by the DX level input into game, and what your computer can handle. The resolution of the textures depends on what your computer can handle as well. Really, that’s all I know and it’s not much.

I still don’t get why you want to raise the roof instead of just trimming down the bush…

You will never get proper performance with a high poly ship, no matter how you put it. GPUs can only handle so many polies before they get a brain fart and you know that as well as I do, so I’d really suggest you stop avoiding this problem and fix it instead. Anyone who’ll play your mod will thank you for that.

yep FF is right

lol…I know I’m being difficult, but in the end, isn’t the stubborn way always have the best results? I mean with your analogy, maybe by raising the roof instead I can now have a second story. Extra bedrooms?

And I know what happens when your computer brain farts. I’m getting that a lot trying to play Fallout 3. Every 3 to 5 hours my computer decides to tell me no.

Hmm, I both agree and disagree. All of my experienced modeling friends say that making a model with high polys is dumb, and in part I understand, cause they have shown me otherwise. you can make models high detail and low poly. But that only comes with experience. Much of the detail can be left to the texturing of a model. Many little cuts and grooves wont be noticeable anyway unless the model is big enough for your small fighters to actually fit in them. Just an example though.

Aye i though this threat is called 3D Model Showroom not much polys good or baf.

By the way i use models with more than 12k polys as player battelship and it work very well, no vidlag not even with many players in a event.

You said it: battleship. That isn’t a battleship… And even that is quite high.

And hey, for as long as nobody posts some more model stuff, why not let the thread live its life?

The Coalition Cruiser from the FL Intro movie with an alternative texture:

YAY! We are back on topic now. ;D

Made by my buddy Herman.

GC Heavy Scout

Nice, I love that ship forsaken! The bottom of it reminds me of a trainer… which now that I think about it, suits a scout =D

One of the new ships CzW made for us:

Excellent models chaps, just goes to prove what a good texture can do

I’m not very sphisticated in Modelling but it tried to create a new Cockpit model with less Polys than possible.
The Console Texture give you a slight feel of 3D, which is actually a 2D Texture,(what you can recognize on some parts)

Firefly “Serenity” Cockpit

looking good but if its 2d then it might not look as good when the ship is moving

and we will cal it … this land!..
hehe put a plastic Trex on there and im set… im a leaf on the wind…

nice one mop ;D

Just watch out for Reavers ;D

I like it, it looks a lot like the show.

MK

@OPR8R:

well ingame you won’t recognize the light changes on the console very much, more the fact that the Interfaces on the
Console are illuminated, when turning ship and the console gets dark, the Lightbulbs and the console still glow ,

lol ,and the Trex would be very funny easteregg

Anyone know who created this model? I know it was originally in the downloads section on TLR for Starlancer and i’ve had this model lying around for years (i released it in my old Galactica Hellgate mod back in '05) but i never did find out who originally made it. Its called a Razid
