"...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

Ok, here it is: Sandwich's Asteroid Factory! (698kb)

This is a MAX 5 file with a few goodies. Read the readme for details, but suffice it to say that I created all the asteroids you see in the pictures below from one base asteroid, non-destructively, in about 5 minutes. ;7


"LOD3" - 60 polygons per asteroid:



"LOD2" - 240 polygons per asteroid:



"LOD1" - 960 polygons per asteroid:



"LOD0" - 3840 polygons per asteroid:



:D

Woot.

If only we could use the LOD0 ones, that would be so awesome. But, they're a *little* high poly. :D:D

Nice work though. You too Ryx. This should give us sufficient variety for some truly great asteroid fields.

Sandwich, those are way nice!

Hmmm, I wonder if I should go out with my V1 (you too, Sandwich) and get some rock textures for you folk. ;)

If the LOD distances could be tweaked more - in a table for instance - than even such high poly asteroids wouldn't be a problem.

Uhhh... they ARE table-based, aren't they? Or are the LODs for asteroid fields defined in different locations from the LODs for ships and such?

It's true that lod jumping is very noticeable on Asteroids, but I don't know where it is adjusted :(

Ok, I've been playing with textures and come up with a pretty nice Ice Asteroid, I might work more along this theme for now to give things a bit of variation :)

Nicely. We need big asteroids - the FS ones are all piddly little ones of a few meters across, whereas there are thousands of >1km asteroids in the belt (And yes, I know FSes asteroid belts aren't realistic). Though, err... will big roids mess up the way FS places them?

Sandwiches are good too, but I think just a little high poly for something that'll have 255 in the play area at any given time.

Big roids should be placed manually. Solves the problems that way.
