I'm guessing that the polycount on that thing is already too high for a game model with just one side modeled, isn't it.


Looks awesome though.

What? I'm confused. That doesn't look very high-poly in that picture, at all.
Wh00t!? Vinyl? Is it like an I-pod 2 or something?

Bastard. I was gonna work on that next. In fact I had come up with some great optomizations for it; specifically, you don't need to render all the parts of the tubes in the middle, and secondly, you should use alpha-mapped girders around the outside.

It looks like you haven't done much except a basic tech test (which is what I've done) but I can get the same job done and look just as good with 10% of that polycount.

Tell ya what, leave it to me. I'll do it. :rolleyes:

Look very closely at the pink parts on the left side of the picture.  Having all of that modeled sends the polycount through the roof; that one section is all that's been touched and the thing is already at 20k polygons.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Uh-oh... :nervous: I'm afraid to see how long it'd take to convert to a pof... or even worse, to create an index buffer.

Oh the model has way more than that now... and it's not really worth it. If anything I'd just rebuild it from scratch. I wanted to anyway... >..>

Stop that! I said I was gonna try it.

Say, if you have any custom textures (like extracted maps for the gas tanks) I'd like to use them.

Yeah...we really need an editor that supports an IBX chunk.
