ANy card that runs FS2 will run it w/o any pb. Remember my arcadia? it uses around 30 maps. so 6 maps= no big deal.

:doh: Sorry, I shouldv've said "six 512*512 maps". All of the textures for the colossus were 256*256 or smaller which is what most graphic cards are optimised for (except the newer ones IIRC). Anything above this has an impact on the gfx. card's speed.

I guess I'm wrong though since you don't seem to be having any probs with it. How many fighters of this detail can you fit on-screen before you notice any probs?

no, actually, if the gfx card can't handle it, it will just scale it down. Well, most cards do that now anyway. Plus that's what lods are for anyway

I've done some battletests of various ships with around 20-30 hi-res fighters (+ a similar number of standard FS2 ones, and several big ships) without any apparent slowdown.

Although I'm still testing - there's a couple of odd bugs with the Nightmare fighters where the players' ship - but not the actual gameplay - seems to slow down (it 'feels' heavier).

Excellent

I hope my Voodoo 3 and 300Mhz k6 is up to the task, I can't wait to do a flyby on one of your capships in one of your fighters.

Impressive as always, Aldo. 2 questions: How long did that particular model take you? And how long did it take you to get that good with whatever program you're using?

Very nice.

Surtur is the alternate name, and sounds vaguely less like a grunt.

Ulundel · **Reply #47 on:** February 23, 2002, 07:17:51 am

I have a campaign (exodus) and I'm looking for models. May I use this when it's ready? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease, oh pleeeease. May I, may I?

It should work fine on a regular FS-style mission... I'm going to try and beta test Reciprocity on my brothers PC, which is roughly the same as yours (bit faster, but a Pentium though). My Pc is pretty fast though, even if the GF2 is fairly crap, so it's hard to speed test these things.

I'll be adding lower res maps as well, though. Unfortunately, the LOD-ing is a bit guff, which annoys the hell out of me.

But, it look neat;

About 2 hours modelling it, and about 10-12 hours texturing (not sure)

I've been using Blender for modelling since, well, whatever my regdate is here.

Setekh · **Reply #49 on:** February 24, 2002, 04:43:42 am

That's... well, that's quite incredible, Aldo.

I'm proud of you. I remember the exact day you walked in here flashing around your TS1-built SOC ship... was it a cruiser? I forget that much. Hoo boy, have you come far.

Ha told you all Blender was really good for your modeling skills!

Nice work Aldo.

runes · **Reply #52 on:** February 26, 2002, 07:24:09 pm

wow, i like it!

it fits quite nicely with the freespace universe, but it also has a progressive feel that fits in inicely after Capella.

good work dude

Setekh · **Reply #53 on:** April 04, 2002, 06:32:53 am

I'm bumping this... it's just a really good example of hull plate detailing.

TrashMan · **Reply #54 on:** April 04, 2002, 06:56:04 am

WOW - that's all I can say.
Where did you learn to make textures like that?
If I send you my ships, could(would) you "skin" them, i suck at that.
Does anyone have some good written material about "skinning"?

Wow. I haven't wowed in this thread yet. Wow. Excellent textures.

Sheepy · **Reply #58 on:** April 05, 2002, 03:27:02 pm

slightly reminds me of the deminion from DS9

Silver_Scythe · **Reply #59 on:** April 06, 2002, 11:13:25 pm

Can I PLZ use that ship for my missions, maybe for a campaign?
