If anyone is truly offended by "erebus", I implore them to think of it as "Airbus" from now on.

Any news on what the Pblue is?

[Aesaar]

You'll see eventually.

yeah listen to what the animu robot says

[SF-Junky]

Yep, even if Act 4 isn't finished by the time the Erebus is done, the mod/campaign missions will get an update.

That sounds like you'd release act 4 singly. I thought acts 3, 4 and 5 are supposed to be one package?

[Luis Dias]

damn you. had you pretended not to have read anything significant Darius would have probably unconsciously leaked more stuff

[Husker]

Love the model, not a fan of the name. I'll get used to it eventually. But Raynor sounds sooo freaking awesome!

[Bryan See]

I do have a question, when these models are complete will we be getting a patch/update to aoa/wih like before or will they all be released in act 3?

Yep, even if Act 4 isn't finished by the time the Erebus is done, the mod/campaign missions will get an update.

And perhaps my forthcoming mod, FreeSpace: Reunited, will make use of the Erebus.

BTW, does the Erebus make use of "height maps"?

[NeonShivan]

*poke* any update?

[Molaris]

when is this sucker getting released?!??! it looks AMAZING!!!!

[BritishShivans]

oh my god can you not

Disclaimer:

* Droid803 is totally oblivious to any drama that may have occurred, and I also see no reason why this should be kept hidden - it's a wonderful model, and it's complete an in-game already anyway.

There is no way this is going into freespace blueplanet at war unless i can find a way to wave its triangles to 40000, which i find impossible.

Don't worry! You just have to cut like 80% of the detail. :-P

You'd probably be on better footing if you used LoD 2 or such as the starting point.

[DahBlount]

I honestly see no problem with reducing the details. As it goes, if it even had one tenth of the detail it has now, it would look amazing. Just do what it takes to get it working game. Best of luck!

very true hopefully there is a lod as some of the newer models don't have lod's

the problem i have with reducing detail is i use poly reduction which can cause shadow issues and uv issues within sins

That does sound pretty bad. I assume this was made in 3DS Max?

Awsome model, but isn't the re-positioning of the hangar entrances going to cause problems when putting it into existing missions?

[An4ximandros]

Darius mentioned there would be an updated AoA if the Erebus was done before WiH A4. So my guess is they will remap the missions as needed.

If they don't have LODs they're incomplete. I'm pretty sure this will have LODs.
