In case the images don't post,..
First two are the New Jersy and Rondald Regan from this page: http://members.nbci.com/_XMCM/xzarno/gallery_portrait.htm (//"http://members.nbci.com/_XMCM/xzarno/gallery_portrait.htm")
The third is the Yamoto II from here:

IF anyone thinks they got skills in polyreduction I've got the lightwave files for the Yamoto (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
But what do yall think this would be like in FS2?

Not me. Darkshear maybe? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
In FS2 - I'm not quite sure what the weapons are like, how big it is. But it would need a Helluva lot of poly reduction. Captain Obvious to the rescue.

I'm sure DarkShear could....but I don't think he's too interested in game modeling again (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)
I'm still poking around online seeing if I can find a low poly version, as popular as Starblazers was back in its day (about on par with Robotech) I'm surprised there's not much out there.
Weapons would be simple actually. The big guns were beams, make the rest laser turrets, they all had a hellava lot of missile tubes, and of course we'd have to give them flak (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Damn those are nice ships, I wish I had the time...
Without trying to sound too ambitious I don't think there would be a problem making lower poly versions. Note that I say "making", I don't know why everyone is going to the complicated measure of trying to poly reduce models, you lose a lot of detail that can be aproximated if you built a low poly model from scratch.
Hmmm, the Yamoto II might be a different story though, trying to give it the curvy look might be troublesome.

Yea I know...I was more at the point of hoping to give some of our modelers some inpseration (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
Ok ok and a bit of hoping and praying too lol
Starblazers was something I grew up on and I'd simply kill to fly past one of those babies in FS2 (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

It doesn't look like it would be TOO bad... Most of the really fine detail is in the turrets so that would help keep the poly count under control. I really like the Pacific Rage myself =)
-
Well the hull model alone is only about 500 times the allowed polycount (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

ahh.....round objects.

If you don't mind Warlock I'd like a look at the Pacific Rage model, I can't promise I'll be doing anything with it anytime soon but curiousity calls (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
-
That reminds me Maeglamor, how are you doing on the models? If you have any completed PLEASE send them to me! I have no projects to woek on right now except the CB Anims for the campaign and I really don't want to do those right now.

Only models the creator has up for DL at the moment are the Yamato 2 and the John Glenn.
So thus,..these are the only one's I've got (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Don't worry man you're second on my priority list (after all this damn college work), I'm still working on the excalibur, I haven't had a lot of time and it's not quite finished to my liking. Better news on the destroyer front though, I've finished all the detail levels and I am working on applying turrets. It will take a while though since my hands are tied for the next 3 to 4 weeks.
