Title: Model View Size comparison
Post by: Kie99 on December 31, 2004, 12:44:36 pm

Im sure I've heard someone mention that you can do size comparisons in ModelView. Did I dream it or does anyone know how to do it.

Err.. If you load a vpfile, it'll give you a statisticla breakdown of every mesh, but I don't remember offhand how to do it. It's easy though, I remember that.

It was indeed done in TS but it only took me about a minute or two to put together.

Load the Sparky_FS2.vp into Modelview and save the pofs out (or use VPView. I personally prefer modelview cause I don't remember the model names of all the bombers and fighters off by heart :D ). Open the pof in PCS. Convert it to cob.

Open the .cob in TS. Delete all the LODs and debris.

Done.
