Great work!

Only 2500 polys? Great model!

Centurus · « **Reply #24 on:** September 24, 2008, 06:55:24 AM »

Out of curiosity, are you making the model as an editable poly or an editable mesh?

saberwarrior · « **Reply #25 on:** September 24, 2008, 10:15:26 AM »

Thank you for going along with the request, I knew someone would want to make a New Olympic Class.

You build it and I will have a bridge ready for it.

I was thinking about the same

I have the advantage though, in that I am making an MSD for the Olympic Class as we speak

Aeries · « **Reply #29 on:** September 24, 2008, 11:50:32 AM »

we talking a fresh model or a retexture?

MarkyD · « **Reply #30 on:** September 24, 2008, 12:30:56 PM »

I am really amazed by the huge response to this project, so thank you all very much.

I have now finished the mesh, it stands at 3600 POLYS which is about 7400 triangles or summat, I have spent the best part of today, re doing all the smoothing groups.. and im now only using 3, i also reduced polys where i could doing that.

Im going to start mapping her out, and should have a preview of the textures by this evening.

Again thanks for all your kind comments, and of course the bat of cookies i have recieved.

I always build as an editable poly.. it comes with experiance to see how the polys will be modified once their are "meshed" for the game.. but its much easier to build using squares than triangles, plus 3ds max turns off certain tools when ur editing as a mesh that i need.

Marky i must say u are becoming one of the modding favorites around here. Amazing how great the mesh is with such a low poly count. I bow before your greatness.

nothing more to say than seconded

Barihawk · « **Reply #33 on:** September 24, 2008, 01:21:33 PM »

Sexy model for a sexy ship. Kudos, sir!

MarkyD · « **Reply #34 on:** September 24, 2008, 02:10:12 PM »

Thanks allot guys... such praise can only make me :oops:

Im recieving all of questions regarding how i manage to keep the poly count so low, well here is the rule i use, detailed areas such as buzzards and impulse engines, and bridges i will poly for poly make accurate, the hulls and longer plain bits i will keep plain aslong as they fill the shape they need to be, and as always... i will study a model and clean and reduce polys all the time as i go..

I just had a very interesting and informative discussion with adonis, sort of like a "NO MAP IT LIKE THIS!" so im gonna map it like he has suggested, so BC peeps etc can make custom regs etc..

Thanks fellas

Wow, I've always liked the Olympic and we finally have a great model. Thank you so much and great work!

Now I know this is a long way off but I'd like to suggest when HPing to do a standard fleet version as well as a hospital ship version?

Barihawk · « **Reply #36 on:** September 24, 2008, 02:29:23 PM »

Just a question, what is the ship's name going to be? Pasteur, Nobel, or something else? If the latter please make up a registry

.

Why do I need it? You will see

Very nice mesh there markyd, I'm so glad some finally decided to have a crack at the Olympic Class. It's one of the few ships that is sadly still lacking in BC!!

Great work, Keep it up!!.
