Title: The Dignity - Destroyer WIP
Post by: Styxx on March 11, 2003, 10:03:57 pm: Same ship from the "This time it's for real" thread... Decided not to revive it again, as most people who didn't see it yet wouldn't even look into a thread with that name. Anyways, here are some update pics on the ship. Didn't have much time to work on it, but the modeling is almost done.

Post by: Bobboau on March 12, 2003, 12:51:54 am: a massive explosion is reported in south america, at first it is though to be a nukular bomb going off, but it is later determined to be a computer exploding after trying to render a 5,000,000,000,000 poly model in a five year old game engine.
but none the less hundreds of thousands are dead and millions seriusly ingured, this aparently all started when someone sudgested that this would be a good idea, however we beleve this person had no idea what the consequences of his actions would be

Post by: J.F.K. on March 12, 2003, 02:43:34 am: Yikes! :eek2: A few questions, if you wouldn't mind:

1. How long's that thing meant to be? In metres?
2. How long did it take to render that full-body isometric (the top image)?
3. How long have you spent making this thing?!

:yes:

:yes:

1. Around 500 meters, still gotta scale it properly from the windows;
2. Around 10 minutes, with 9 lights with raytraced shadows;
3. Well, around two months by now I think, but a lot less than that in straight work hours. Would come down to four days of dedicated work, five at most.

By the way, 'Mediocre' was a joke. :)

Post by: NeoHunter on March 13, 2003, 02:43:55 am: The model is very detailed and very nice! The name is alright I think.

Okay, maybe you should change the name. Sounds so...moral?

Btw, what engine actually could run this beast?
Title: The Dignity - Destroyer WIP
Post by: NeoHunter on March 13, 2003, 08:06:13 am: I think a ship this size needs a lot of power to work. LIke maybe a freakin' big warp core or some nuclear power plant bigger than any the biggest nuclea reactor plant.

Engines? I think something very very large.

Nah, he said it was only 500m long (about 50% larger than today's aircraft carriers). I think nuclear reactors would be standard issue by then considering that we're already sticking em in our subs and carriers.

Post by: vyper on March 13, 2003, 08:35:09 am: :lol: Aww erm.... my bad. I was referring to GAME engine lads! :D

But at least I've unintentionally added a new angle to the discussion! ;7
Title: The Dignity - Destroyer WIP
Post by: pyro-manic on March 13, 2003, 09:23:00 am: I don't think any existing game engine could handle this in its current form. You'd have to get rid of all the tiny details, and get the poly count down from the millions to the thousands to get it to run smoothly on anything short of a supercomputer. It's an incredible model, though, and it'll be unbelievable when it gets textured.:)

The name sucks, though...

Well, that's a lot shorter than I thought - I expected such a short vessel to be much wider and taller. :)

The Matrix!!!

Post by: an0n on January 10, 2004, 11:57:50 am: Yeah, well.

I was cruising Scifi-Meshes and found Styxx latest creation.....which I can't remember what it was/is. And I got to looking at his profile and old threads and found this thing.

Turns out he was working on it till June or some **** over at SFM.

Now PLEASE make low poly verions of them that look exactly the same and disseminate them to all the models with sucky ones :) My X-mas wish for next year, elimenation of all sucky turrets from FS2...
