to find the poly count in MAX go to the utilities menus (the little hammer looking tab) and chose more, it should be listed in there.

great looking ship BTW from the shots i would say you are well over the 6-12k poly limit for most SFC ships i am looking forward to seeing with some skin on her :)

Looks great! As wulf said, gonna be to big poly-count wise for the game, but will be great for renders. ;) When I made mine, I had to really think hard about what to mesh detail wise and what to leave to textures...if I had meshed all of them, it would have been over 100k, which, btw, I think this is. :o Great model though!! ;D

Nice ship but I concur, it looks well over any usable poly count for the games.

Yea, which computer you have the game installed on is more of a limiting factor than the actual game. I can run 12k poly models on my 5 year old machine. Only time I experience lag is in missions with 12 ships. Most mods use lower poly ships because they run on a server. That model looks great and you can always make a lower poly one. Even so SFCIII is not a real effiecient game, because there were games released about the same time that use higher poly models and still run 4 times smoother than SFCIII.

you know i have a very strange idea.
We already have a great X-304 Deadalus model in the form of Sandmans.
i also know that Major Payne can get pre-rendered textures from high poly models, how about using Jads fantasticly high poly model to Give Sandmans a slightly more detailed set of textures?


that way we get the best of both, great model and great textures

awesome idea :)

What they are wondering if they could use renders of your ship at various perspectives, stitch them together in photoshop and use them on Sandman's model of the Daedalus.

What's cool is if you bake in a Global Illumination render into the textures, (i did that with the UNE Fleet, it's great).

Its not quite as easy as it sounds, one would really have to line up the camera angles and what not.

Yeah, what he said. :P

Basically, take pics of your ship and use them as the textures. If we do this, one note...I eyeball things when I build 'em, so dimensions might be off. :P

ah right so its pretty much a skin of my ship on Sandmans? no offense atall to Sandman but it would not work as his model is not accurate to the the real Daedalus propotions as mine is mostly and as forth his ship wud need to be accurate at first before my ship texture skin would work

Also i jus for some reason found a huge error in my mesh wich has sora peed me off cus it means i cant texture the front of the ship witout remodelling the head of the ship cus 4 sum reason the textures do not go over the entire mesh, jus a square of 1 part n im like wtf so i got a bit of work to do on that so probs no major updates in a while till ive fixed it... sowwie :(

Have you tried reversing normals? Try that before you re-do it...also try checking for multiple layers on the mesh...happened to me once and I was lucky to find it. ::) And please don't be offended...it's obvious you are much better than I am at meshing and texturing, but sometimes it's the simple things we overlook. :smackhead: :)

I'm trying to find some better pics myself...can't even begin to figure out all the angles. :P Too bad there's not a schematic site for SG ships. :( If I find anything, I'll shoot you a link. ;) (Great thing about this place is, we all help each other out. ;))
