Yea, verily, the gauntlet hath been thrown down. The first modeller to replace V's lame asteroids with super-duper high poly (and mebbe even hi-res tex) versions wins... *drum roll*... recognition by the HLP community. No time to lose, fire up your modelling proggy before someone else claims this fabulous prize

perhaps even inclusion in the SCP media VP, but  that's not my decision.

Make sure they're well lodded, if indeed you can lod asteroids at all. My memory fails me.

They have LODs.  although maybe not a full set, and I'm not sure about debris.

A good start would be ripping HW2s straight out of the game and taking some tips from that. Also.. decent textures. These are rocks floating in space - should be dark and grey and not shine in any way. They're not metal (unless indeed they are metal.. but that depends on your preference :P)

metal rocks should be in there too, maby even chunks of metal imbedded in the rock.

would it be possible for asteroids to trail particle's?

If I wasn't concentrating on all my outstanding (ie unfinished) projects (GTD Hera, GTC Aeolus remake, missile models etc), I'd have go at this...

How hi-poly/hi-res are we aiming for?

Hi poly enough that we can't see blatant faces like with the current set. Hi-res as you think you can get away with - peeps can always resize their texes if their boxes are too lame :nod:

And yes, if the spec could be turned off on the asteroids that'd be good. Is there a way to use a shine map to stop the model from shining at all?

Hes right, anything that doesnt involve you being able to see that its blocky is a nice asteroid. The ones from Bridge Commander were pure bliss. Try Starfleet Command Volume II: Empires at War. Those were some NICE asteroids.

Are tunnels/wholes in the stucture possible with FSO?

But if we use tunnels and such it may prove problematic...as you may have loads of the same asteroid in the same asteroid field.
