You do not have enough RAM, I guess.

It's not RAM, it's your video card. Or your VRam...  Topace, you're becoming Kazan. :doubt:

512 ram is just enough to run FSO well, more ram would be a good thing, though it sounds more like your card is the problem.

Why? What makes you think I should have known how many RAM he had?

I'm afraid I don't like it too much. Basically the detail is added in a nice way, but it's QUITE overdone. The ship's shape is not really flowing anymore, the plates raised to extreme levels. It's good, but it's just "too much".

I guess you won't make some nice maps for it?

I wonder if youwould have said the same w/o the first pic. When everybody says it's barely noticeable too. And that shape flow thing is bull, look at the ingame shots :doubt:
But as you never like anything, well :p

It actually looks better in the first shot than ingame. I looked at it in the techroom and it's just... weird. It's not "barely noticeable", but rather the Mara is barely noticeable under all that stuff.

And that I never like anything is untrue. :p

It looks awesome without maps, but the textures just aren't sharp enough. I think DaBrain and Lightspeed should make 1024x1024 textures for the Mara just to do this model a little justice.

Light, try it ingame, like actualy in the game. It looks quiute amazing when the mara does its weird rolly thing (when your up to the sie of it at close range)

Though i agree it could be too much, and too many polies. I say scrap the thre extrusions that aree on the 'lit part' only
actualy, mabye not.

Yeah well, I'll stop *****ing and repeat myself one last time anyway: if I didn't want to release it back then, it's because I said it was crappy. Draw your own conclusions :p
But I stand on my opinion that Lightspeed never likes anything :p
