Looking good! :yes:

(transparent cockpits still look cooler, you just need to model the inside)

:lol:

yeah, that makes sense. i think i'll tint the cockpit, but i'll still model the inside.

Yeah it is - exactly why I asked ;)

Whoa, that is a nice fightery thingy, especially for a render artist! Awesome! And even though it isn't designed for FS, I just wish I could fly it...:yes::yes:

Mal: Define "interesting".

This is why we need a super-high poly space sim - with relatively little ships of course (maybe like say :rolleyes: one) or maybe not :p

the reason for low poly model ships isn't because of space, it's because the computer can't render that many polygons and it'll slow your computer down really slow.

hehehe...get a geforce 4, the one that can render about one trillion pollys per second?

You'd still have a limit, and not much higher one at that...

Well exactly - less ships - less polys rendered. So we fly a ship through empty environments to cut down on polys rendered. Not very fun but... :p

Plus you have to allocate memory space to hold the actual point co-ordinates, etc.  FS2s' shars o' death are probably a malloc / calloc (or similar) related problem, where the polygon data space overruns it's allocated storage area, and ends up using co-ordinates based on data allocated by another program.

...AFAIK.
