There's never really been a true hi-poly modelview. All there is is a patch that'll take it up a notch... and I think you might be able to grab it on Karajorma's FAQ page. Not sure about the link.

No one ever checks the Wiki anymore. :sigh:

^the modview there is able to field Omni's 14 000 poly galaxy model AND it's 4096 res textures. :p

Yeah, but it won't take Bob's Herc with textures; all it'll do with that is wireframe or solidity.

Probably because it only reads PCX. ;)

Yarr - DaBrain's right. It will still only accept 256 colour PCX textures. :(
ATM, finding and increasing the right numbers is about all i can do in terms of C++ code.

That stuff - more texture formats etc - will have to wait till i actually learn how to do that, but that's assuming that no one else does so before me, and in any case, Kazan's PCS 2 should be out by then. :D


But! you were talking of a high-poly modview, and that's exactly what it is. :p

There needs to be a :headhitdesk: smiley. Oh well, I suppose :doh: will have to do.

If someone wants to make decent PCX textures for that thing, be my guest. All I'll do is open them up in Irfanview and downsample them to 256 colors. :p
