DS1 is only 120km in diameter.  DS2 is 160km in diameter.  That takes about 100km off your model.

[KARMA]

can't remember, what was the size of the planets done by venom?

[Grug]

iv been working on a tie fighter and x-wing for a while now...

im eager to see the results of your mod....

[Tar-Palantir]

lods my friend, lods, many many lods. The b5 station is 3000ish (or was it 4000) polys, they're using a buncha lods so that you dont get the full level of detail until you're right up next to it.

LODs won't help much, when you're say flying down the trench, you will be most likely at LOD1. Therefore the computer will be doing lots of calculations for parts that you won't see. If you were then to fly out of the trench, then you'ld still have a problem. LOD's only work when you're approaching the object.

[Kabal]

Yeah but if you are far away from it then it takes of cpu power to load an object that big at full detail. If you are in the trench or pull out of it, you are still only seeing one quadrant of it so less cpu power is required.

[Killfrenzy]

The only prob with a SW mod is that in SW, only secondary weapons are interchangeable, not primaries. Unless you only allow the fighters to carry one primary......

[Kabal]

In SW primaries are interchangable. Single Fire, Dual, or Quad. Just have 1 primary with 2 lasers and 1 primary with the other 2, so if linked they fire quad and if apart they fire duel.

Hey Karma, if the X-Wing you mention on your site is mine, then you can mention the fact that I am in the progress of making at least a temporary shot at the table editing, got the basic stats down (using the Treb as a temporary filler for the Proton torps) and I have the Hull:Shields ratio correct.

[Killfrenzy]

Kabal, that's not interchangeable. The FreeSpace primaries are interchangeable. What' you're talking about is configuration, and I've played all the X-Wing series!

[Av0uu]

[not a modeler]

what about doing this about the Death Star Trench:

1.  Make your giant sphere
2.  As a seperate model, make the trench

so in the middle of a mission you just slap the trnch face on the front of the rest of the DS.  That way you could make the trench more detailed without messing around so much with LoDs.

What I'd like to see is the Executor. 12.8 KM of floating death...

[Unidan]

HAHAHA!!! a Star Wars mod? Remember my Star Wars project? It lasted 2 weeks!!!

I've got a cob file of her........but converting it to a pof is asking for trouble! The poly count is rediculous! :D:D:D

Yeah, but if you look at the progress for this one, they've already got the TIE, me and Karma are working on the Z-95 and X-Wing...

[aldo_14]

Whatever happened to KillMeNows star destroyer?

[KARMA]

dont know, i'm interested too;)

[Tachnyrus]

Someone has an Executor model? Can I download? Can I? Can I?

[gets slapped]

[Galemp]

I asked Razor about it in March. It's his and he said he'd talk it over with his crew.
KARMA, I'll be sending an update your way with improved versions of the T/I and T/D, as well as a rough Nebulon-A Frigate.

Anyway, here's some screenies to get the general public to look at the mod:






Those are from an updated version of the mission that's in there.
This mission's scenario: A freak hyperdrive malfunction sends you deep into an unexplored nebula. Due to the accepted theory of floating gas casting hyperspace shadows, nebulae had never been explored. Now, alone in the mist, the Empire discovers a new species... a species that lives in nebulae and is drawn to conflict... a species that, until now, has been confined to subspace travel...



With hyperdrives, the Shivan juggernaut knows no boundries.

[Alikchi]

AIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Fecking Hell!
