Well, needed something to fly with the Daedalus, and a carrier just looks naked without a fighter escort.

This will not be for the game, though I will release it as a .mod, as it is already over 1500 polies.

Well, here are some pics...

That rocks! I KNEW You'd be a smash at ftrs!

But if the ftr goes over 500 polys, thats bad.

OK, most of it's done, just need the missiles...currently she weighs in at 1952 polies.

that rocks to bad its so high poly

Sorry...I just can't seem to keep things below 1000...oh well.

FW, the problem with high poly is that in SFCOP when these puppies are launched, some carriers deploy up to 24 of them. That'd lag a system and a PvP match would become compromised.

1000 polys would work as a PF, however. Most ships clock in nowdays between 3-5k. So launching 4 would be equal to another ship rendered onscreen. A ship is limited to at most 4-6.

OK, started some texturing...still have to add the 2 outside guns and the missiles, but I'll do that as I go.

Hey bud when ya get that mesh complete send her my way I'm pretty good at poly reduction without integrity loss

Sandman3D · « **Reply #9 on:** February 01, 2006, 08:47:18 pm »

Thanx AV, Tus already hit me up.

You know, the more I look at that dead-front shot, the meaner it looks...and that's without the guns and missiles.

This design is a great take on a real-world near future atmospheric/space fighter, looks plausible.

Might just have to do a high-poly model of this...talkin 100,000+ polies, every detail modeled. Of course, that will be after surgery monday...too difficult now.

But, the future holds many new and wondrous things!

Sandman3D · « **Reply #12 on:** February 06, 2006, 09:18:27 am »

Well, tried to finish this for y'all, but...
Hopefully, after I get home from hospital I should be able to get more done relatively soon.
See ya 'round...

Forget it! Just relax and recover. Important things first.

Red_Green · « **Reply #14 on:** February 07, 2006, 01:30:52 am »

Hey take care Sandman. Your mesh is looking great. Smooth as glass.

Sandman3D · « **Reply #15 on:** February 08, 2006, 09:04:30 pm »

Well, here's a few shots...still need to send to Tus for poly-reduction (comes in at 3056

), though if anyone wants a copy for rendering purposes, send me an e-mail.

Sandman3D · « **Reply #16 on:** February 08, 2006, 09:20:55 pm »

Nah, most of it was done sunday before the surgery monday...not TOTALLY insane...yet, anyway.

CaptainTombs · « **Reply #17 on:** February 12, 2006, 01:23:29 am »
