Title: BSG Battlestar model downloads
Post by: pArthiva on July 10, 2011, 10:06:54 am

Hello everybody, thanks for taking time out to read. I'm searching to download these battlestars but I just can't seem to find any links. Like to add them to BtRL mod

'Valkyrie', 'Cerberus', 'Prometheus' & 'Ulysses'- by Infinity238

'Galactica' - by Wil Jasper

'Pegasus' - by AldrikG

Although, not a battlestar

'Demosthenes' or (vanguard class) - by Rick Snider

Thanks!

Where do these models come from? None of those people's names are familiar to me from HLP. Are they suitable for game use? A model with dozens of intersecting faces or a million polies is no good for a game. What do the models look like?

They may have been ones that were converted a long time ago for that BSG ToS mod?  I still have most of those models somewhere, maybe even on the FotG FTP.

Those models are very high poly models from Sci-fi meshes, or from the Battlestar Prometheus project.

Sorry to dissapoint you, but AldrikGs Pegasus ( which is, afaik, not publicly available anymore) and Will Jaspers Galactica need a **** ton of optimisation to be useable ingame.
Believe me, i've tried, the Pegasus is a Polymonster with ~3 million Polys.

While i'm not familiar with Infiniys238s work, i assume same can be said for those ships.
The last one is unknown to me.


There are ships available in a German BSG mod that uses Coxxons fleet, but most of them, mostly the Battlestars aren't really useable in a space sim. They'd work in a Render or a RTS though.
Coxxons higher poly Galactica needs serious optimisation, before it can be used ingame.
I've converted it a long time ago, but the fps drop on my ( old) rig is headache inducing.

Best thing is, to wait for Diaspora.
