I wouldn't call that "in progress" the model looks done to me. If you look at most of the ships in FL, they aren't very detailed, most of the detail comes from textures and such.

Yeah, this ship look realy good ... add some texture and wait for someone to open up the model format ... there will be lots of people happy to implement this ship ...
great work ... keep it up

looks good , but let me give you a tip . drop alot of those small details , you're only adding more pollies for the cpu and gfx engine to crunch on .. keep the count as low as possible and get all your textures and bump maps to finish up the detail..


Too many pollies make for a chunky game ^^ just a tip , good work though .

Hang on, did you say bump maps? I didn't know this game supported those. I'll have to go take another look.

Actually, if you do enought LOD (Level Of Detail) models, you can have a very detailed model ingame with little-to-no slowdown. The player ship can be even more detailed, since there will onlyever be one of you on the screen. To see what I'm talking about, visit the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade Project and see what they've done with that old game.

I'm thinking of making two versions of each ships. 1 Normal looking for people with normal or slow computers..and 1 High Detail version for people with very good computers that can handle alot of processing power.

that ship reminds me of the Mara fighter from freespace 2.

What program are you using to create these ships if I may ask ?

Post Fri Mar 07, 2003 6:16 pm

I've got a few ship designs on the go (couple of old ones visible at www.clayworks3d.com that might look good in freelancer) and I'll be adding support to my 3d program freelancer files, as soon as I can work the UTF file format out.....
