What the poly count on this beauty?

Post by **mark** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 12:08 pm

the poly count is 1687, vertices are a bit high at 3353 as i used shapemerge for a few bits

thanks for the kind crits guys, i may add the daniel jackson soon as well

Merging does tend to add polys, so I usually don't do that for game models.

nice

is it possible to conver .3ds to MS3D files?

Post by **mark** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 5:26 pm

@ draconis_sharp ya shapemerge can pile on the polys, but i made bot a high poly model and this one, the poly count is pretty good i thin, just excessive vertices in there

@ cylon ms3d, i assume you mean milkshape? if so then it will import .3ds, it is the most common format around.

looks great.. for a2 i assume

no it is in .3ds format, i have submitted it to the site in this format so anyone can convert it if it goes up for dl.
i have also remade my daudaless class it is a better mesh but is higer poly than the old one, this one is 2786 polys is that two high for armada?

click on thumnali for full size.

4500 ? thats far to high for lower spec comps , i use a max of 2500 for ships and stations

Post by **jolt** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 2:45 pm

4500 is too high if you have fleets of them, 1 or 2 shouldn't hurt too much so long as appropriate measures are made.

Nice Daedalus, I like it a lot.

i can lose a fair few polys should it end up to high, i have to add a wee bit towards the front section, however that should only add a few more polys says 30 or so, i figure thatat just under 3000 should be ok for an armada release?

Bloody brilliant work there man. I like the subtleties in the detail, like recessed points. Great work.
