1) Was permission secured from P81 for this conversion?? He has been known to be very tetchy concerning cross conversions of his work (even if credit is placed in the accompanying readme).
2) Was this model actually checked for the poly count?? Considering its 4635 I'd love to see how many can have a dozen or more of these in a large fleet.
Okay so lets see. A 4500+ poly model loading along with 7 Mid res textures to install - Total: 7.13mb of files to install. So whats next then?? A 10,000 poly model, or shall we attempt a 1.5million poly Star Destroyer that was released.
Sorry if this sounds very negative but I'm truely getting sick to death of seeing these much higher than average poly models being released as single downloads.
As to the model and textures. They are, as expected, of high quality (nothing less that is shown in Ricks work).
Tom. Please don't take this statement the wrong way though. Its no actual baring on your release, but as a suggestion, instead of releasing a high poly model (which the game engine doesn't like rendering to many of), try to get a lower poly version of the one you plan to release. It'll be somewhat better for the game (could you imagine if you had a replacement side for the federation which were all model sin excess of 4 or 5000 polys).
Still, eventually people will have the hardware to deal with this. Mind you. I wouldn't suggest releasing the newest Sovvy. If I remember rightly its around 8000 polys.
computer has... I MEAN 3000+ poly
Why, if people can make ships look this GREAT, do they choose totally obscure vessels instead of working at the stock version? I mean, has anyone seen the Nebula's Deflector Dish? Ugh! no offense to the original design team, but, COME ON! You're that good at programming and you couldn't take just a little more time and research on the freakin' DEFLECTOE DISH?! SHEESH!
