Firing the Big Gun (//"http://thrawnchi.tripod.com/KEXP_DESTROYER_FIRES001.jpg")

The Ophion-Class Experimental Destroyer, part of a now very large series of ships I'm working on. 380,000 Polys, 4 Texture maps, done in Lightwave 5.6

The ship itself is the pinnacle of technology for the time, mounting the only energy weapon in the fleet, a large 50GW Beam Laser.

Tell me you don't really expect that to RUN in FS? I mean, the model is killer, but... quit...er... chugging?

Nice ship! Love the engine glows too. Hope to see the rest of the ships you say you are making. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Its not for games.. I use em mostly for pix and movies, where poly count isnt quite such a limiting factor  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

With that much detail, FreeSpace 2 would definitely lag.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Maybe someone should try it one of these days........... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Movies? Hmmm...

I'm working on a project that the models and renders for it should be done between 4-6 weeks.

I should keep in touch with you on using those materials for a movie to be rendered...
