Her poly-count has nearly tripled, but since 3500 polies is nothing for our new HTL-enabled FS2, I give you, the metter-looking Anuket Mesh. How :V: would have done it, had they been able. Only thing I can complain about is the front turrets are just a little off the body. I'll fix that soon.
Quite possibly the sexiest ship in the Freespace Universe. Yes, I did say Sexy.
-
And for those of you who like screenies, here's the Mview shot. I can't be bothered to load FS_Open at the moment, it's a bit of a hog for my low RAM.
-
cant see a thing in that pic cause its so dark
-
Well, either DL it, or fix your monitor. :p
-
i would d/l, but my kid brother has the main computer, which has freespace2. Im typing this on a labtop :doubt:
-
Es tut mir leid. I wish I had a laptop. I'd play FS outside in this, finally, beautiful weather.
-
Just to show the difference:

It's good, but it looks a bit clumsy. It's not just smothed, it got a bit more ... uhm ... fat. (Perhaps it's the perspective)
-
Actually, it got thinner. :p It must be the perspective.
-
Cool.
I just downloaded it.
How did you get ModelView to open it ?
( Error #6009:
Too many normals defined.
Should be <=16000 )
Edit: I found some links (wiki). But they are all down :(
-
It's one of Vasudan Admiral's builds. Do a search for it, you'll find it. :)

I searched. It does an illegal operation upon startup.

I got the new version, but it still gives me this error :(
BTW: Little surprise for Raa Tor'h ;)

Odd. I wonder what version I use... Try this one, replace your old one with it.
DaBrain: Targa's eh? I'll have to open up and see what's up with it. :)
-
so, you made a gas miner look all sleek and cool and the Hecate and Deimos are still floating blocks!?!

Don't expect too much, but I like one of them very much.
Look at the rotating thing ;) Looks really good together with your model.

Looks like you have to start creating models too ;)
Edit: This version of ModelView works perfect for me.
Could be something for the wiki...
Edit2: There seems to be a problem with the engine. Well, have a look:

There is a smal bug in the maps. Nothing big, but I'll try to fix it tomorrow.

Oh, that's odd. I'll upload it again.
Now it should work.

Yes, but the link is broken...
(try it: http://www.geocities.com/vasudanad/modviw32.zip )
In addition to that, you can't view the new model with that version... (I found another link to the same file.)

Nope. Same crash.
-
Very, very odd, because it works for me. ANd I don't have any UberPC or anything.
Juat a weak AMD Duron.

Perhaps you have too many versions mixed up.
Try this one.

-
Crash, same as before.
Perhaps it's a conflict with XP vs. 98.
-
Win2000 here. So I don't know.

so why did you not just let the other LOD's slide down a detaillevel? now we're still having to look at the terrible low-poly LOD1

no it isn't, just redownloaded the file, same version as I already am using here, can run it on 2K/XP and no crashes whatsoever...

I get "This page is not available. ". No matter how many times I try.
It's time for me now. 'Gute Nacht' ;)

incase you're still up ;) try copy and pasting the link into your address bar, see if it then still gives you the 'not available' error, GeoCrap is a bit weird with referer headers if a file is not linked from a geocrap page...

blergh, geocities....
from the thread previously posted, just edited with working links
1) make sure you have the latest modview (beta 05 build 28 - for those who don't have it already: http://www.sectorfiles.com/ti-file-dump/VasudanAdmiral/modv32b5.zip )
2) and then paste the exe in this: http://www.sectorfiles.com/ti-file-dump/VasudanAdmiral/modviw32.zip
version over the one in the DMTOOLS\MODVIW32 folder
it's exactly the same as the regular 05, except it has most of the limits i could find bumped really high. :)
DaBrain: it certainly works - that first pic from Raa is in modview, and i am looking at it now with no slowdown....errm, try uninstalling modview completely, then installing the beta 05 from above, and THEN pasting the new exe over it? If you've done that, then i don't know what could be wrong.
Goober, it should be running with 98, as IIRC that's the OS i was using when i first bumped the limits. the crash on startup sounds like what happened to me when i first tried pasting the upped limits exe over the modview 04 install. try the same thing i suggested for DaBrain. :)
in regards to the model, big improvement over the original for sure :) (that scales texture looks excellent in specular btw DaBrain :D )
however, it looks as tho someone should reapply some of the maps as they get even more distorted than they were in the original. (ie, little zigzags of lines etc).
and the scaly turrets look out of place on the smoothed mesh now. :p
nice work :yes:
-
I may fix the UVing if I get around to it. But it'd be alot of work.
And if anyone had better Vasudan turrets, it'd be worth tossing them on her.

Well that is what I have done :p
But this works only for the exe Raa Tor'h gave me...
@Raa Tor'h Did you see what I wrote concerning the thrusters ?
-
Yes, but I haven't gotten around to fixing it just yet.
