I always wanted to create a 40K mod, but it seems that someone got ahead of me, someone with skills

First, ...

JIMINY CRICKETS!

Second, the Lightning looks a tad off, like the front is too fat. However, you'll get it right on your own volition.

Third, you might consider some epic normal mapping for those huge ships, or detail boxes, or whaterver das experts are using to get things done. I don't think 0.5mil polygons is a terribly great idea for FSO.

Fourth, JIMINY CRICKETS!

A slight consequence of only having photos of the Lightning to work with. I much prefer to have detailed Orthos or the physical model when it comes to modelling. Neither of which I had for the Lightning.

Indeed, that Mars Class likely won't see use in the mod. Of which their enemies could be grateful with its near to a thousand weapons.... (It has about 250 Heavy Bolter Emplacements and about 120 Hydra Batteries just for close in defence...)

I was under the impression that polygon count wasn't a limiting factor in FSO. Admittedly, trying to texture that beast efficiently would pose somewhat of a challenge, but is it really altogether infeasible? Because just to be honest, I would love to see that ship ingame.

The new Sathanas has 200k polies, and runs pretty smoothly on most machines thanks to detail boxing and efficient texture use. 500k shouldn't really be a problem, if you handle those two things well enough.
In addition, by the time you finished unwrapping and texturing the beast, and setting up all the turrets for use, average computer power will have advanced another bit

[starlord]

do you have any updates on this kadaeux?

[BritishShivans]

I support this thread, just as  I will support this if it becomes a 40K mod for FSO.

And there should be mission where you play as Chaos. The Dark Gods will be pleased if you do.

My Studies have kept me busy so i've not gotten anything done, still trying to work out unwrapping, i'd be perfectly happy if anyone fancied coming along and joining me (specifically someone good at unwrapping at the moment )
