Those LODs are way too heavy. You should use the lowest one in there as LOD1, with the retail model as LOD2 and a simple cube as LOD3.

They've been revised, and Axem's advice was to have their polyconts be 4700 (the first lod, triangulated) to 1500 polies, to 600, to 200, and that's how the current lods are that are up in the FTP.

Still too heavy, IMHO. For a ship this small LOD3 ought to be no more than a 12-polygon cube. On all but the very lowest detail settings, it will only be used if the pod is the size of four or five pixels.

Whoa. Talk about speed modeling. How did a new mesh come into existence here since the last time I logged in?

Looks fantastic. Give it higher res textures! :P

I smoothed some parts to make it less sharp.

  • What?
I like the current shape. A texture will give it more definition, but I think this mesh looks good and is certainly suitable.
I think I'll call REAL Mahjong 'Chinese Dominoes', just to make people think I'm an ignorant asshat.

Maybe I'm just used to seeing a Hermes with knife-sharp edges, but now it looks like putty, instead of a tough escape pod.

Better, but I still prefer the one with the blocky sharp edges.

Well I like the current one.
[16:57] <CommanderDJ> What prompted the decision to split WiH into acts?
[16:58] <battuta> it was long, we wanted to release something
[16:58] <battuta> it felt good to have a target to hit
[17:00] <RangerKarl> not sure if talking about strike mission, or jerking off
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> WUT
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> hahahahaha
[17:00] <battuta> hahahaha
[17:00] <RangerKarl> same thing really, if you think about it

Mesh is done now, gonna redo LODs and send it to Zacam so he can UVMap and texture it.

Also, a comparison of it to the retail mesh;

As the LODs are done, it is ready for UVMapping and texturing.

Detail0: 5080 triangles, Detail1: 1174 triangles, Detail2: 132 triangles, and Detail3: 44 triangles.
