Realistic Polygon limits

Sun Jun 29, 2003 10:27 am by San Holo

Hey everyone. Im a sculptor who uses 3DSMAX5.1

I love to play freelancer and have made some ship models for it. What i need to know is...

1) What is a generally acceptable poly count for a player's ship?

2) Does any1 want to use my designs for their mod? I have downloaded milkshape, but between 3DMAX and modding for morrowind, i have no time left to learn how to make hardpoints, export to FL etc..

anyone help??

A fast ship??!! She made the Kusari run in eight minutes.. If that's fast enough for you..?

Well, in Star Wars: Empires... we've found these polylimits to be realistic for stuff our modellers are doing...

It all actually runs pretty smooth on most average computers.

Light Freighters

Freighters and Light Capital Ships
