Lower poly fighter **Fininished** d/l link is towards bottom
« on: February 05, 2005, 11:18:56 pm »
Its 800 polies. Is that too high for a fighter? If so then make it a PF  :D  Anybody want this? I know there was a request for fighters, but this isn't a Fed. It goes with the carrier I was working on. Its mapped to a 256. Thats why the textures are just a bit blurry, but you don't see fighters up this close in game   ;)

If someone wants it. I bet I can get it down to about 600 poly with out losing anything.

hey red_green u r alowwed to use that ftp site i set up. its for everyone. just make urself a folder if there isnt one for u yet. hehe also if u dont mind may i change the textures, even though im not a good texturer. but id like to try something. now for the polies i belive the 600-800 range sounds right to me for SFC3 anyways. loved the carrier.

+1 for both

Hey red how about throwing Cardasian colors on it. I think we could use a good Cardie fighter.

That'd be a great Pirate PF!

Ftr max poly should be 300. Thats ok for a PF.

Considering Nexus's requirements, you might as well up the poly limits for stuff when tech specs for a smooth run for that game becomes common.  Unfortunately it's not for my case, as I get a few frames-per-second, opposed to a smooth run for SFC games for the most part.  So 800 polies might not be a problem for fighters or Pseudo-Fighters, at least in my case.  It's a nice design though.

Ftrs are so small on the screen, having more than 300 polys doesnt improve their look. its in the general shape and texture.

Thanks, I'll check out your site later. I put up the fighter at BC real quick. I beveled the bottom since tha last pics so it looks less boxy. Still 192 polies. In game pic.
