Firing the Big Gun

The Ophion-Class Experimental Destroyer, part of a now very large series of ships I'm working on. 380,000 Polys, 4 Texture maps, done in Lightwave 5.6

The ship itself is the pinnacle of technology for the time, mounting the only energy weapon in the fleet, a large 50GW Beam Laser.

Tell me you don't really expect that to RUN in FS? I mean, the model is killer, but... quit...er... chugging?

These detonators were a piece of junk! I even followed the directions... - Lt. Commander Snipes - Special Operations Command

Its not for games.. I use em mostly for pix and movies, where poly count isnt quite such a limiting factor

With that much detail, FreeSpace 2 would definitely lag.  

Maybe someone should try it one of these days...........

DUDE!  You finally showed up!

Movies? Hmmm...

I'm working on a project that the models and renders for it should be done between 4-6 weeks.

I should keep in touch with you on using those materials for a movie to be rendered...
