Damn 450k polys. Can see why you need to use bounding boxes. Looks real sweet with the back end included now...

Thanks, and although it took about 7 minutes to render, this next image might show where some of those polys have gone, the very observant of you might notice the cockpit rivits.

Darth Malice · 07-06-2006, 05:40 PM

****... Are there rivets all over, or just the cockpit?.. I`m guessing there`s quite a few polys used on those beautiful engines too.

biotech · 07-06-2006, 05:51 PM

Just the cockpit, yeah the engines have a lot of polys, each surface is chamfered.

Darth Malice · 07-06-2006, 05:57 PM

Cool, how many polys per rivet?..

biotech · 07-06-2006, 06:02 PM

I'm not that sure to be honest, been a while since I made them.

Darth Malice · 07-06-2006, 06:20 PM

Hehe, I usually just use a 5 sided polygon with a top. The top being tapered. Seems to do the job fine without using to many polys.

This is exquisite modeling! But why does everyone who does an old school viper add such heavy dirt

looks great none the less

WOW... very nice mate

... I hate the fact that max gets so damn slow when hitting the 400-500k polycount

... lightwavers don't seem to have that problem
