<div class="IPBDescription">Too many triangles.</div> JediYoshi praised this guy -X- for his awesome work on texturing, but he also had a method of compiling models using milkshape that exceeded the limit by splitting the model in half and saving as 2 different references. His tutorial was all messed up since the G.H.O.S.T. Ops project messed up his page. I need to know how to do his method!

    he didn't discover it, he just documented it :E

    and the tutorial on his site is wrong <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    in order to compile over the limit you must split your reference smd into two smds, 1 and 2 for example.

    then you'd change the line

    $body body "reference"

    to

    $body 1 "1"
    $body 2 "2"

    ...and of course save the seperete references as 1.smd and 2.smd <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    If you're hitting Milkshape's poly limit, whatever you're making is likely far too complex to be reasonably used in Half-Life...

    I am adding the cel shaded-esque black lines around all the players structures and the marine one is too big.

    you have to reduce the marines polycount...dont mess up the skin...
    remember... semi cellshading stuff = 100% more polycount
