the flat hollow boxy thing looks better...  Try modifying each vertex you have to make it the most detailed you can get it while still having 100 or less polys.

This is my entry, and it has three turrets, the cruiser is at 98 polys.  Not very pretty tho.

[Luigi30]

Looks like an arrow.

flat boxy thing is it triangolated???
becouse box in max = 12 poly
in ts = 6 poly

[Unknown Target]

An excersize in making a very clean mesh 100 polies exactly.

[Luigi30]

Looks like a very low-budget Deimos.

That depends on how you use Max.  As a polygon, a box has six faces/polys externally.  (yes, I know it's still internally triangulated.  Yes, I still count that.  But if you're going to, especially for Freespace conversion, you should count it in TS too.)

here is mine 98 polys with three turrets:)




now gona textre it:D

[DaBrain]

I don't get this poly - face stuff.

Is my model under 100 polies?

[Luigi30]

No, it's way over.

[1-Off]

Meh:



It's got around 136 Faces - **** knows how many Polys.....

Nonsense, it looks like it has 96 polys, it just makes good use of e'm.


Did a test, a cube in Wing3D is 6 polys, same as a cube from truespace 3.2.

[Luigi30]

780 polys.

[WeatherOp]

Hmmm, I think something is wrong with your model program, cause I don't know how that is 780 polys. What are you using?

[Unknown Target]

He's got two cylinders, that's where it's coming from

[Luigi30]

Yeah, the cylinders are >300 each.

[WeatherOp]

Are they higher in other programs than TS, cause their only 20 polys.in TS 3.2

[Gregster2k]

Anyone here ever consder converting some Descent 3 ships (the robots, not the fighters, although the Player Flyable Magnum-AHT at a larger size would be great)------- They're all reallllly low poly, LOL

[Axem]

DaBrain, that thing ain't triangulated, that's why your poly count is low. A polygon is just a closed path of lines, but FS2 counts polys as triangles. To see your real count, select all the faces, right click, go down to tesselate, and go triangulate. After you see how many you have, you may want to go undo. I find it much easier to work with untri'ed models.

[DaBrain]

Now it's almost 300 polies...

Looks like I have to start again.
