Omniscaper, I've uploaded these shots for you - but I saw how good they were and seriously thought they were good enough for their own thread. If you want this merged with the old thread, just gimme a shout, but I think this baby deserves more publicity!

As per Omni's request, I must mention here that credit for the model and textures goes to the ST:BC community's Scotchy. Omniscaper ported the model into FS. // Sandwich

The first 4 shots have the "low"-quality Galaxy-class (3000 polys, textures 256*256).

The next 4 shots have the "high"-quality Galaxy-class (13000 polys, textures 1024*1024).

Waaaaaaaaay nice, man.

Well I guess we can put any models in FS2, then. I have a nice high poly Sulacco, anybody wanna convert it to FS2?

edit: btw, 13k polys is probably a bit overdone, but 1024*1024 maps aren't. forget those 256*256 maps, dude, forget them forever, remove them from your vocabulary, they're sinful, they're dirty, they don't deserve to exist. To sum up: 512*512 mini, coz a good map can make a mediocre model stand up, while the other way around won't work.

Very impressive....must be a FPS hog. I know it says 32fps but toss a couple of these in and whammo!

Agreed, Venom. I wasn't expecting much with the model - I've seen very boring 13K models before - but those textures slap you silly. The quality improvement is vast. Well done to you, Omniscaper.

Whoa. That is rather impressive! In fact, that's bloody amazing!

Now do the Nostromo (and it's big refinery thingy as well)

If you're looking for the same magnitude of details, you're gonna go in the hundreds of K of polys with this one. Even magic won't make it work in FS2 this time

anyway, I guess the ultimate test is to drop ten of those in a mission, all visible on screen at the same time. Then we'll see the FPS

Bloody Impressive!:yes:
Now let me see a Galaxy-X and I can die happy!

That is one of the best mods I've ever seen. Keep up the good work.

Well I'm not sure modding is supposed to be "I take high poly meshes obviously not meant for real time but use it in a game anyway", but it sure looks pwetty.
I just wonder how well it'd work with a whole mission using meshes of that quality, and what are the specs of the computer used to take those screens...

You don't need to be a Star Trek fan to say thats one FINE ship

Carl · **Reply #13 on:** December 08, 2003, 10:41:35 am

well, most ST battles are one on one, so if you only have one ship on the screen during the entire mission, you only need to render 6500 polys per frame, so it wouldn't be so bad.

Fineus · **Reply #14 on:** December 08, 2003, 10:48:40 am

**** me.. that's beautiful! Release it!

but considering the FS2 AI, that would make some seriously crappy mission

KARMA · **Reply #18 on:** December 08, 2003, 11:16:01 am

how many 1024x1024 textures on this galaxy, btw?
because 13k polys shouldn't be that much
