:D Its easy to fix in Lightwave, if you have those problems, so I fix them. There's not much sanity lost if you do it a little at a time. Really. :D

AMD Thunderbird 1.13gHz (clocked down to 1.0gHz. Crappy mobo), 1.5gb of PC133 RAM, GeForce2 GTS w/ 64mb RAM. All in all, completely "yesterday's computer".

The real winner there is the GF2. It gracefully handles the 28K polys in wireframe shade mode, giving me about 3-7fps. I divide the models up into multiple layers when I work on them, and I hide the layers I'm not using, and hide irrelevant polys in the layers I am using. I probably have no more than 10K polys on the screen at a time, which works out around 24-32fps most of the time. I've tried other game cards with Lightwave and been very disappointed with them (Radeons in particular). Of course, if I dropped some money like wEvil and went for a REAL graphics card, I could probably sling even more polys. :D

Radeons will "do" but if I have to use a game card for 3d work (which i do) then I'm going to use the one that doesn't crash my hardware all the time and the one that gives me the best realtime speed. The GF2 works for me. Neither of my Radeons did.

And Venom, if you live nearby, I'd hook you up. I have a spare 1gHz Thunderbird doing nothing right now. :D I just don't have a motherboard that will take the only spare RAM I've got (2.5g in five 512mb sticks)

ah, continue this way, and give the models a lower-than 20000 triangulated poly-count, and we may look at the next SCP update. :p

Excellent. Lets compare efforts later. I'm working on the Herc1. ;)

I'd recommend a fighter or capship that Darkage is using in his animations. This way, we can give it an exorcism and turn it into an LWO and he can use it. ;)

woow

whats the number of polygons on that, high i imagine

how hard, theoretically, would it be to get it from where it is now to around...like under 3k..you know where i'm going with this:):)

anyways, do you plan on texturing it??

The number of triangles is around 77K. Its liste earlier in the thread.

How hard would it be to get it under 3k? um... real damn hard, considering the details. As for where you're going with this.... why would you want to put it in the game, when there's an already working Mjolnir? ;)

I wouldn't texture it, but I might put material properties on it. Textures would mostly obscure the geometry.
