Title: Got Polygons?
Post by: diamondgeezer on March 28, 2003, 01:56:17 am
I just shamlessly stole a Hammerhead  from the LancerReactor... when I opened it up it was nearly 130K polys. No POF for me :)

[EDIT] Oh good God, there's even  a little geezer sat in the cockpit :shaking:

I'm no expert on modeling, but if there's a pilot actually modeled in the cockpit, it could very well be 130,000 polys.  Movie CG is commonly at this level IIRC.  Though one suspects that they've got a plug-in or two that they use to fill out a really good lower poly model.

I found a  HHead model about that size when I was wqorking on my own one... it was pish (masses of unnecessarry or occluded polygons).  The version I did  - bar the cockpit & pilot - is pretty much indistinguishable detail wise, and much better maps even at half-complete.

The pic looks perfect on my monitor, so I can only advise you to sort your life out. The skinning sux0rs, becuase I did it in about an hour using Paint. It's just a temporary solution until a professional texturer can be bribed in to doing it.

And I assume you seen at last some Space: Above And Beyond?

And what the hell's a headhunter?

DG, I think you need a new pic...all that it is is a vaguely grey silhouette. I can see a green blob, something that looks like a flag, some text, and a yellow thing. A 4-view of this would be appreciated, even if it is just taken from modelview.

(note, pic isn't too dark, it's too bright & washed out :p)
