No prizes for guessing what this is.

MetalDestroyer · **Reply #1 on:** August 04, 2007, 01:09:03 pm

What is that ?

Snail · **Reply #2 on:** August 04, 2007, 01:18:46 pm

Dunno. Is it a Mon Calamari cruiser?

Scourge of Ages · **Reply #3 on:** August 04, 2007, 01:22:31 pm

Hooooo boy, it's probably gonna have 100k+ polys when its done isn't it?

MI123645 · **Reply #4 on:** August 04, 2007, 01:23:53 pm

I know.

Its an enlarged escape pod.

Excellent model too, this thing is going to blow me away once its done.

Woolie Wool · **Reply #5 on:** August 04, 2007, 01:35:10 pm

I thought Executor-class super star destroyers had larger engines than that.

Tempest · **Reply #6 on:** August 04, 2007, 01:41:33 pm

No, they don't, but the thrust that spews out of them is considerable.

Snail · **Reply #7 on:** August 04, 2007, 01:43:38 pm

What're you usin' for reference?

Tempest · **Reply #8 on:** August 04, 2007, 01:49:46 pm

The studio model. It's as accurate as it gets.

chief1983 · **Reply #9 on:** August 04, 2007, 02:28:23 pm

Yup, between the pics of the studio model from a museum and ortho shots of a plastic model kit that was based off of it, he should be able to make it spot on (easter egg and all).

You know there were only three (maybe four) SSDs made, right?

Shade · **Reply #11 on:** August 04, 2007, 04:55:02 pm

All the better. The fact that you'll likely never have more than one in a mission means Tempest can really knock himself out on this one without worrying much about polycounts

Tempest · **Reply #12 on:** August 04, 2007, 08:27:23 pm

I've worked on the top a bit.

chief1983 · **Reply #13 on:** August 04, 2007, 09:05:38 pm

Holy cow zomg that's roxorz

blackhole · **Reply #14 on:** August 04, 2007, 09:12:15 pm

If only it could have accurate collision detection without raping the CPU

Tempest · **Reply #15 on:** August 05, 2007, 01:39:39 am

More tomorrow. As you can see, every region of the model now has detail, and the engines were enlarged.

jr2 · **Reply #16 on:** August 05, 2007, 01:41:23 am

Very

G0atmaster · **Reply #17 on:** August 05, 2007, 01:58:33 am

now remember kids, on Return of the Jedi, when the A-wing crashed into the bridge of one of these and sent it on a collision course with the Death Star, this thing looked like an old flint arrowhead being driven into metallic ground. I wonder how many polies a Death Star (especially the DS2, all broken up with the innards exposed, plus the scaffolding on the exterior and such) will have?

jr2 · **Reply #18 on:** August 05, 2007, 02:00:07 am

Hrm... is there a way to have more than 5 LODs? Or some way to get progressively more detail, the closer you get, but because of the enormous amounts of detail, to have many more levels than usual? Or won't it be necessary?

chief1983 · **Reply #19 on:** August 05, 2007, 02:10:21 am

Detail boxing can take care of some of that. But, detail boxing can eat up subobjects which we also need for turrets and the like.
