Once I get my Athlon install, I'll be able to do something with them, cause the sheer number of polys is killing my comp (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/squeeze.gif)

And about the polys, I tried to load the low-poly release of a jump-gate and the things damn near caused my computer to hang itself. I probably shouldn't have winamp running when I'm 3d'ing.

Thorn, good job. Those look pretty damn good. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

DO you know where I can get Babylon 5 meshes in 3D Studio Max R4 format?

If you use 3dsmax, just use a gradient map on the "Shine Strength" channel. Have the noise texture you used on the middle channel of the gradient map and have the other two channels pitch black. Then tweak the location of channel 2 and you're done. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I can tolerate it for now, I wanna figure out how to do fancier stuff first, then I'll worry about it..
Besides, you hardly notice it when its rendered at low res/no AA.
