LOL ok I already have a Hi-Def thread and now I need something even higher, so Ultra LOL.

No I'm not dead, just haven't had a whole lot of time or interest lately, BUT....... I've been reworking the Bearcat over (yet again). It's no where's near Star Citizen quality but it's the most detailed I've done so far. Right now it's sitting at a little over 200K polys, it does run in SCP.  Haven't played with it in-game because no lodding yet, so not practical.  The lack of real animations (my animation script only works with linear rotation speeds, not curved) is also a problem.  Mind you I'm running with a 290x and the F3 viewer is showing a solid 60fps, PCS2 is very sluggish through.















and yes there's a P3D for it:

OH MAN!! Welcome Back and that Bearcat is looking SOOOOOO COOOOOOLLLL!!!!

This looks great, but IMO, it should have wheels, not landing struts. Wing Commander ships had wheels. Also, putting the guns on the side like this would cause problems with switchable weapon models (we really need an option to reorient the model per hardpoint...).

[Scooby_Doo]

I'll see what I can do about the wheels... shouldn't be that difficult, I'm not as worried about poly-count .  Oh and I think WC1 & 2 didn't have wheels, just landing pads.  There's a few areas that need to be touched up, detailed and the cockpit needs to be completely overhauled.  I'm thinking more of a virtual HUD layout rather than the more modern jet fighter setup, sorta like was SC has right now.

Who needs wheels?  Spaceships can land straight down.

Pfft; Welcome to the 1980s:





Landing @1:20  Takeoff @5:30

[Aesaar]

Who needs wheels?  Spaceships can land straight down.

Are these spaceships supposed to take off and land again every time they need to be moved around a launch bay?

[Colonol Dekker]

I NEED  a cold shower now.

Now with wheels:

[Scooby_Doo]

Wheels look a bit better than my last try (the HD models), they look chunkier and can handle the weight.

Also.. new tachyon gun mount

and a new P3D version:

[Cyborg17]

This model is incredible. 

[Scooby_Doo]

FINALLY got the canopy frame to look descent. Between the mesh normals just not smoothing right and downright crashing  it's taken a while LOL.  The canopy itself has about 26K polys.

The cockpit tub itself needs to be redone, but for the moment I think I'll be reworking the intakes, they're basically a .1% scaled down model of the Behemoths gun barrel LOL

[Wobble73]

SCOOBY DOOBY DOO! 

[coffeesoft]

Oh my god !    ,   

[BirdofPrey]

Hot damn

[Lt. Spanks]

*Licks lips*

[Scooby_Doo]

First attempt to get it into the Unreal 4 engine (btw it's free to use now, just waiting for crytec engine to follow suite...)

Tons of stuff missing (doesn't like having instances/references) and missing polys.. but it's a start

[Scooby_Doo]

Now even better!

I have to collapse the meshes before export, otherwise the symmetry modifier seems cause missing triangles.  There's three new scripts in the Useful scripts thread for all this.

[Scooby_Doo]

Now with 100% more glare LOL

Side thrusters have been upgraded.

[jr2]

Ohh, shiny!  Reminds me of:  (EDIT: The glare, I mean, not the ship!  lol)
