Glad you like my turret. It has 109 polys, so it shouldn't be too bad.

As I said, the Arcadia is an exercise. I doubt I will get it work properly ingame, but I can try. And keep in mind I'm still a complete newbie at modelling, so it's just a big collection of boxes in different shapes

Hehe. Just try it. We can always try to merge them if the result is good.

Since it cropped up in this thread...

Taking a break from revision:shudder:, I've starting UVmapping the Hera.  Plus I also ran a check on restoring the other half (doing UV on one half of ship).

It's, quite frankly, alarming.

Current model LOD0, complete, Un-Trianglated: ~5381 polys
Above model, but Trianglated: 15552 polys

Reaction:

EDIT: forgot to mention, the above is the hull only. No turrets or anything.

Combine that with the current map configuation, and this will be a fps munching monster.

Looks like I need to do some sniping...

I'd personally like to see a high poly Poseidon. It's got a UV map from FS1 to work off and the design is pretty damned spiffy IMO.

I would like to see a High poly Apollo, and Madusa!

Seconded.

We dont need hi-poly fighters as much as hi-poly capships, period.

What we'd REALLY need is a hi-poly Argo.

And fighter models with built-in cockpits.

If I ever get it right, I'll do the rest of them. But as it is, I can't see how to do it correctly.  It keeps fighting with me.

Fight. Win. Victory!

Just keep trying, i'm sure you'll get it right one day.

now someone make the rest of the hecate.

Just my opinion: Go look at what the WC: SAGA guys are doing with WC fighters and capital ships.  They are taken known designs, many that were created with the same or less polys than the FS2 ships and adding all sorts of details without totally violating the original design.

Make a high poly everything and add all the detail you want...at the end of the day if its supposed to be a high poly Deimos it should still be a Deimos and it should still be somewhat boxy...just with nice extra details to give it a nicer shape.
