*edit* smoth, check yo inbox

[bobthedinosaur]

you did

[Pressure Line]

like i said, Archangel/bob, yours if you want them :)

*edit* tried to send it to you bob, but it seems my ability to send PM's has been compromised T_T

hi i contribute this project with this if you are still developing this mod

[Hoi]

Model looks good (I think) but I think it's wayyyy to much poly's, how much tri's has it?

[Milagro]

115881 faces and 61273 vertices

how mucth triangles ( faces, vertices ) spring suports

[Hoi]

The model is good for a high poly, but not for this, sorry, it's just too much.

See this?


A model I made some time ago, it's pretty low, 246 tri's (that's triangles, something diffrent than faces, try to tessalate and then count faces), my model uses alot less triangles, still, it would prolly look as round as your model if you set up normals, try to make some low poly stuff

[Milagro]

pity i had 4 mecs

just one thing if i try to input onto the spring engine is it suported

does it works

Try that link, it explains how you get a unit in

Also check that for more.

And ask ik you have any questions

milagro let one of the Battletech devs (of which Hoi is not) let you know about the model... though it will probably take work to get it into spring regardless of polycount.

[Archangel of Death]

Currently development is pretty much at a standstill on most fronts.

While that is a good looking Catapult, a mech of that tonnage should have something like 1/50th to 1/30th that number of pollies. Spring could handle one or two of those at that polycount, but this is an RTS. Need a few more than that. Most of that detailing should be in the texture. I suspect there is some way you modelers have of turning awesome high poly models into better skins for low poly versions though.

Bla bla I was right blah blah

[Guessmyname]

Yes, you were Hoi, the point was that you were acting a bit too much like a Battletech dev, and were likely to get mistaken for one by someone who hasn't hung around these forums for long periods of time, like Milagro. If you're not on the team, you don't have final say on whether or not a model is used, and you acted like you did (even if it was fairly obvious).

Not a Dev Team member either, Guessmyname.

well... the model looks ripped off a cbt fan site once known as classic battle tech movies, however if it is a model by you then im sure a smaller low poly version wouldn't be too hard after seeing the monstrous detail on those. so if you are willing to bring something like that down abit we would gladly try to include it in. i dont think fps even use models of that quality yet, so other than making CBT fan films, we cant do much with it.
looks great tho.

theres always the catapult from MC2 (i found an .ase convertor for Blender ^_^) which has like 400 tris

[bobthedinosaur]

actually the mc2 models are pretty low poly, some even lower than OTA

um if any one is interested... the rifleman needs a models. so im giving any fans 2 weeks to submit and then ill probably do it myself if no one has anything that fits.

actually, let GMN do it, he is far better than me ^_^

for a reference model theres a Rifleman on sarna.net
