The defaults are for low-end users. The maps, however... As the NS team described it, the maps are highly detailed and use many fog and steam effects. Not exactly suited to a Pentium 133 with 32 megs of RAM and Win95. Hell, Half-Life, itself, couldn't run on that computer.
Would it really take that much work for a modeller to fix? I mean they already have the basic models, all they would have to do is decrease the amount of polygons.
If you know how to decrease the number of polygons by pressing a button, how about you do it?
It's not a question of difficulty. It's a question of whether we want to or not. It's been said a thousand times before. We do things that appeal to us. Otherwise, what would we get out of it? Certainly not money. If you had money to pay us for low-poly models, I'd suggest you invest it in a new computer.
I do what I would want to play with or what happens to be extremely convenient and appears to be in demand. I don't see low-poly models being conveniently available to me.
That said, you're welcome to use the Doom guy model I converted from Q3. That's got barely over 700 polies. I could've converted the lower-poly versions of it, but I was already doing it as a favour and not for myself.
Tell me, if you'd spent the months trying to figure out how to model, skin and animate models for HL, would you just throw away your new abilities on things that don't personally appeal to you?
Khaler, are you a retard? Did I ever tell you to do the low poly models? All I asked was if it was hard t do, I didn't expect to get a moronic reply in return.
What's this with all NS players just waiting to flame the next poster? I never did anything to deserve that kind of reply.
