Lol.. just pulling ur leg son 

[MarkyD]

Lil more, plus the latest wire... 

[Psyco Diver]

cool, should be fun to pilot, they had polarized armor and a phase cannon right?

[MarkyD]

Lol..

Ok its done, nice to see its a popular model here

anyway, poly count less than 2k, mapping has started. 

[FarShot]

Simply beautiful for under 2k.

[Jb06]

Awesome model there Mark! Not fancy doing some more canon shuttles, we're in need of em

[Billz]

For a low poly model, that's very impressive. 

This deserves a giant cookie. You earned it, lol.

[MarkyD]

@ Billz.. had a giggle good pic mate

When it comes to shuttle meshes im always open to throw em out 

Thanks fellas, very much appreciated

It might just be me, but those wires all show a majority of the mesh as quads, which I didn't think BC liked?

Nice lesson for you son...  it built as a quad as in a POLY, most meshes are built as quads...  then when converted all game models become meshes and are triangulated..  as long as those quads are unifed in max.. ie you could draw a singular line and make a triangle then you are A1

lesson over.   

[Side 3]

So, the *.nif conversion process automatically splits quads into tris? Huh. Learn something new every day.

A model will not leave the max format without conversion..     the .nif .mod and every exporter ever will do this function, hence the importer / exporters's function.  i am not an expert on exporting, but im sure its the case 

[Side 3]

And here I thought it was so different formats could read vertex and face placements.  Seriously though, I love the shuttlepod, and you've done it justice for sure.

Not all formats triangulate the mesh. It depends what the specs of the format are, if they can handle more than 3 vertices for a face.

Out of interest, is that 2k count polys or tris?

[MarkyD]

Hey Limey,

Its a max renderd face count..

so thats 1500 polies..    and for a shuttle in this detail with it being 100% unified and clean Is very clean 

[Billz]

When you eventually get it ingame, will be accurate scale (to this pack anyway http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/;41033)?

[MarkyD]

Yes mate I would like to think so.

I look forward to this launching from my NX-Refit.
