Actually, I think it looks pretty good. I'm not saying its bad or anything. Just that I like my version better. Admittedly, you can't use the old textures for it, but its got better detailing. It updates and details the original without straying TOO far from canon.

Oh, and I fixed your pics:

Looks good so far, but IMHO it still needs to be intensively greebled according to the details the hi-res textures show.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Nice. :yes:

Now add LODS, and it will be ready for use.

Oh, and Drew, do you have engines glows switched off or something?

not high-res enough for that model i'm afraid. Makes the new & shiny model look washed out.

not high enoug?? I don't think so... really:

fighters/bombers: 0 - 1000 polys
cruisers/freighters/transports and whtsoever below corvette size: 1600 - 2200 polys
Corvettes: 2500 - 3300 polys
Destroyers: 3300 - 5000 polys
Juggernauth and beyond: 4500 - 8000

These are the poly counts that I use, and think they are the best to keep an excellent detail level/performance balance. Oh, NOTE that these poly counts are for the main hulls only, so they aren't for ships turreted...

raven, I was using this pcount already in vanilla fs2 (except the bigger ships) :lol:


btw lightspeed I was referring to the high res maps from fs1, not the fs2 maps. Maybe they aren't optimal, but not that bad. But if you feel confident that you can do better...go for it!:)

the textures for the herc are currently at a high enough resolution, unfortunately, the herc is by far the worst UV mapped ship in the game, also it looks like some V artist decided to hit the brighten button on it at some point  so that's why the colors are washed out, what I need to do is completly reorganise the UV layout (only about half of it is actualy getting used right now) and do some touching up of the maps

Welcome to three days ago. These missiles were posted on Lightspeed's weapons thread.



I have no fricking idea why someone would make high-poly missiles though.

Well, i remember someone else made an hi-poly version of the Herc with a whole new mesh...
It was Lightspeed IIRC, that fighter was pretty cool.

They aren't hi-res enough to do that model justice. Reorganazing the UV map is a really good idea, though :)

Anyway, i can't wait to see your results  ;7 :nod:

You're mistaking. I never did any useful mesh for Freespace.

My modelling skills are  non-existant :p

I haven't tried lately, though.

Hey Bob, do you think you could post a COB (or something like that) version of the Herc? I'm trying to put it into 3DExplorer but it's getting all screwed up in POF2COB...

Looks awesome by the way ;):yes:
