Darkdrone · « **on:** January 14, 2016, 03:15:49 am »

Been working on this for a few days its the stock model but I`m mesh smoothed the whole model making it a lot smoother around the edges was 462 polys now 2600 polys
remapped to use a single texture map ( not done a light map yet) and did abit of work on the textures trying to clean them up and match the colour better
will release a SFC version for anyone who wants it

plan on doing at least 2 more hydran ships and the starbase want them for my starpoint gemini mod

Isn't that something. Nice to see the Hydrans getting some attention.

I can't wait to see the other stuff you are working on for them.

Thanks DD!

Curious that you remapped it to use an single texture.
Have read that it improves the drawing speed in modern graphic cards.

I don't have experience with modelling.
But, is there an easy way to turn a model, that is split in various meshes and materials, into a single piece with just one texture?
When i open the stock models, and render them, the illumination seems so wierd at some points.
I ask myself, wouldn't it improve the model illumination and draw speed? Or it is just me not thinking right?

what you show here is a mesh smoothing problem and not a texture problem

DD is up to something... usually a delay in replies from him means a fleet is incoming.

I must be missing the correct Dropbox... Under the Hydran folder I only see the SFB Style HMS Honor and HMS Magistrate.
