Galemp: 2048 isn't too big in my opinion because this ship has about 150m so it's so much bigger than for example Tie/In which has about 8m.. I don't think that brand-x will use texture for Tie lower than 1024 when I finish this ship I will send it to You so when You think that 2048 is too big You may easy change it to 1024 BTW. I use only one texture of course and maybe I add another one normal texture.

My graphics card (and a few other people's) will piss its pants upon seeing a map that big.

One map that big shouldn't hurt anyone, but at the same time, the TIE has more intricate detail that it currently looks like the Action VI will have, since most of it will probably be fairly smooth flat surfaces.  To warrant a 2048^2 map, that thing would have to be really detailed in the texture and normal map.

Edit:  Large Texture Support

2048 is support by most modern cards, even the Rage 128 and first gen Geforce cards could.

Today I have about 1.5h so I add few details in engine section. Here is results:

I'm finishing this ship (only few details on nose is needed) so if You think that I should change something in geometry please tell me about it.

Hey, that looks great!  The only thing I can think of is that there should probably be something on those flat ventral surfaces to make them fit a bit better with the model's general level of detail.  Of course, it has to be able to look like it can land on a planet, so nothing too fine.  If it's already been taken care of or is something that should be done with a normal map, please ignore this.

Thanks swashmebuckle 

In nose section I will add few details but in other section I will use textures to make illusion of details.. I forget about landing gear.. but I will draw few lines/panels on texture cause in space it has landing gear close

You know, I'd just like to say that I enjoyed the april fools joke this year.

I was reading the last few posts here, and I actually thought "your mom" was a legitimate modeling term. Like parent group and children groups or something

(Every "you" and "your" on the site was replaced by "your mom" for a couple of days, in case you didn't notice)
