I haven't ran into it yet.  exept now i think.  what is it if anyonw knows??

[StratComm]

It's already been bumped once, but there's no way that will work.  There is still a hard subobject-per-model limit, and multipart turrets count as 2 of those objects per turret.

[boewolf]

Ok.  I have got the individual multi part turret count down to 18 (18 turrets).  Is this a more realistic figure??

[karajorma]

Much better. I think the limit Trashman asked for was 25. Whether or not he got it is another matter but 18 should work

[boewolf]

I know that this is a little early to be asking.  But i am renound for taking a decent mesh and never skining it in a way that does it justice.  If / when i get this one finished would anyone like to skin it for me??  anyone interested would be most appreciated.

25 Is the curren max as I recall, so that should work (My Iowa has 20 ...or was it 22 ...and it works, so...)

Looking good, but take my advice...don't overdo it with the quad devide/triangulate, etc....
I allmost never use that stuff..and even when I do, I delete many unnecesary edges...  I try to make max usage of every polygon
It's a lot simpler (for me at least)to bevel/union/substract a untriangulated model..., and then after adding detals, manually add edges where they are needed...

[boewolf]

Ok.  I now have 73 turrets on the main body.  I just have some more defencive turrets to put on the fins, and three on the very front.





 

The little black dots are turrets

[boewolf]

About a week and 94 turrets later.  I have a mostly complete mesh.



Recently while playing another game i decided on a name.  Dorouse.  He is the God of law and order in a game called Majesty.

model for now looks easy to texstue. You want to use standard Fs2 texsturies??
I can skin him:)

[Grug]

lookin good...

yeh i cant wait to see this baby in game...

-Grug

Keep up the good work...

[boewolf]

Skined in good old fs2 textures would probably be easier in the little experience i have had in this department.  But by all means feel free to use some artistic licence if you feel the need c419.  

The file is a truespace 3.2 .scn file.

and here it is.

[c914]

ok
starting work

[Havock]

hmm, i think it would be cooler if you would scale down the wing-thingies on the sides and put some engines on 'em.

[boewolf]

There are engines on the wings.  They are on the other end of the pic.  you can't see them yet.  would you like to see them?

[Setekh]

Awesome, great job stepping up for the texture work c914. Can't wait to see the results from that nice little (big) mesh you got there, boewolf.

[boewolf]

Been planing what the loadout will be like and there probably won't be much anti fighter cover.  So i am planing a new cruiser / corv.  

To that end I am attempting to  combine the front end of the Aeolus or Fenris to the rear end of a Dimose.

This class will have little anti capship defence but will have overwhelming anfi fighter defence.

That doesn't sound... natural...

Seriously though, try something a little more original.  The Deimos and Aeolus do bear a limited resemblence to one another already.

[boewolf]

Ok so I have veired around a little and decided on a heavy AWAC escort cruiser.





That ring that runs through the ship is indead the radar.

[Woolie Wool]

I prefer the final Fenris-derived version of the superjuggy to the AWACS:

Very imposing and majestic. The shape seems to suggest more a carrier than a battleship. Me likes.

Do you still have this version of the mesh?

[boewolf]

Then is this something more like an excort cruiser??





The turrets are just for me to map out where i want them to be.
