How so? It look Vasudan to me.
If you have any points about it, post them here:

And yes WW, I do intend to release it (and most of my other Terran/Vasudan stuff;) ).

thats not vasudan.... its a terran design mistake with vasudan textures....

Oh really:wtf:?  What's Terran about it now?

i agree, looks crappy.

[kasperl]

ikt needs to be rounded, that's all. the head needs to be a tadd thinner (vertical), and a very small bit smaller (horizontal), and it would be good. don't spare poly's on roundness though, the SCP can handle plenty.

[StratComm]

Even without rounding, it needs sections that are better differentiated.  The stripes that texture creates on the neck don't help anything, and otherwise it looks like a fat sobek with less texture detail.  It's got potential, but it looks a little too much like the sobek for me.

[Raptor]

Let me explain a few things.....

1) Since I am unable to use HT&L builds (I only have a NVIDA TNT2) for, possibly, a year or 2, any craft I make for myself has to work under the old limits (~750 ploys per subobject, including the hull).  My Vasudan Cruiser is currently 646, so not much room. (once I have upgraded my graphics card, which might, just might, be with a month, then it's a whole diffrent kettle of fish)

2) I'm not sure HOW to smooth an object, never before had reason to ( I generally work on turrets and Terran ships, neither of which are, generally, smoothed)

3) I, Personally, prefer game play over looks, so I'd rather have something that was playable, rather than looked really, really good, but was totally unplayable.
Case in point, anyone remember 'Mechwarrior2' or 'Mechwarrior2:mercinares'?  Both were quite bad in the graphics department (compared to today), but they were very playable.  Mech2:mercs was my favorite game for a long till, even after graphical standards left in the dust.

I'd just better point out that those textures are stand ins, just to give it a Vasudan look, until I Lith the model.

[aldo_14]

You have 200 polys for smoothing stuff, then.  Look at where you can remove polys as well - odd's on theres a few straight sections where it's too subdivided.

So, was that Saturn ever finshed?

Well, not yet.

Texturing on main hull is better, not great but better than before, and it has working LODS.  Just needs better texturing and Debris.

And paths for the turrets (subsystems+docking are done).

Give me a few minutes and I'll upload a recent pic (in its thread:nervous: ).
