Ships

[Paul]

Oooh, nice!

That's the trouble with working, now... one day is pretty much like the next so I can't match the EH build schedule up against it

[Yoda Almighty]

wow, that ship is really good

did you make those textures, or download them from somwhere? (if so, where? )

also, is there a poly limit to the engine? (that is to say, does it get slower the more you add)

[Paul]

There's not a hard-coded limit, but it definitely does get slower. I would say a couple hundred poly's is a good number to target, but if you can get it lower that's awesome.

Of course, as time progresses I suppose I don't have to maintain the same minimum requirements (I originally intended EH to run on a 350 MHz G3 iMac , which wasn't too old at that time).

[Yoda Almighty]

here, how's this?



just a random ship. not really textured. (as I said before, I don't really have any ship related textures)

[Paul]

That looks pretty sweet! What's the poly count?

[Yoda Almighty]

3630. it's a little high, but I can bring it down.

[Paul]

Ha ha, yeah. It's best for the finer details if those can be captured in the texture instead of the model.
