Set up a "Pimp brandx0's box!" donation drive?

Set up a "Pimp brandx0's box!" donation drive?

     If brandx0 had a box I don't think he'd want a pimp anywhere near it.

Another update.  Removed the lighting for this render just to get it more like the original scene.
And yes, the AA does suck, but I can't be bothered to re-render with higher settings.

That's quality man, I love it. Any chance you could give us another shot of it a bit further back? Amazing that it looks so massive but it's only just got to the main hanger!

I would love to see what the captain sees when he looks out of the bridge over the ship.  Perhaps while trying to shoot down GR-75s fleeing Hoth...

[brandx0]

Hehe, I'll get another shot of the bottom from further back when I have more mapping done there.  I stopped just at the hangar because that's roughly about where the mapping stops.

As for Chief's request, I'll see what I can do

Okay I got a miscellaneous question which pertains to the ISD but is more general.
Re: Detail boxes, am I correct in assuming that, basically, they're like LODs except, unlike LODs, rather than the whole model either being detailed or not, instead the "detail box" objects are either visible or not visible depending on the player's position to them? So for example, if there were detail boxes all over the ISD, and the player was approaching from the front, it's possible that . there are detail box details visible on the bow of the ship, but not visible or turned-on at the aft of the ship?

Is this how they work??

[chief1983]

Mostly right.  They're on/off based on a distance from them.

A word of advice. If you're going use detail boxes, for this model or another, try to keep the number of detail boxes low.
Not the polycount(!) The polycount is less of a problem.

Just make sure not to set up each small detail, as separate detail box. Hundreds of them would be pretty bad for the performanc, but something like twenty or maybe even fourty should be fine for a ship of this size.

Captain: "I'll have fun watching this A-Wing getting toasted by our shields!"
Commander: "Sir, our shields are down! I repeat, Shields are down!"
Captain, blankly staring at the A-Wing: "Holy Mother of God."

I know it'll be gone when talk like a pirate day is over, but I felt like quoting it for hilarity so it lives on past tomorrow

EDIT: Aw, it's gone.

And another WIP update.
