First time i have released anything at all.

Owen1 · August 2003

erm... what diffs are there?...

Windelkron · August 2003

does it get rid of that annoying flickering on the pad? anyone else have that? if you move around at certain angles the pad will flicker with blue lines...

343_guilty_spark · August 2003

Blue lines <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'> It goes see-through for me.

Ollj · August 2003

thats because the plane of the model is in height = 0 like the texture below.
you see both faces at once depending on your z-buffer, color dept and gfx card.

Jabba_The_Hunt · August 2003

Anti-freeze, while its a good model, I cant see how the extra 600 polies or so have been used to great effect, without a major difference people aren't going to waste frames per second. (try making it a complete circle maybe?, rather than lots of sharp edges)

Maus · August 2003

What would be grand with some of these higher-poly models would be if people could enlarge (and clean up) the textures, for better detail/definition.

antifreeze · August 2003

Nice plan maus. The extra polys were just for general smoothing.
And yes it should fix the flickering, the bottom of the IP is slightly abouve the ground its placed on so that should happen any more

P.S. Thanks for not flaming

MalambisBZ · August 2003

I suggest you add a face to the bottom.

Xiile · August 2003

/me doesnt see any difference. But then again...

All the maps in ns are 256x256, i have tryed re-skining them but i didn't really get very far, 256 is hard to work with plus adding detail, unless the were re-meshed at 512x512.

Maus · August 2003

They don't need to be remeshed. The skinmesh fits to the dimensions of the texture.

Wotahmi · August 2003

I like it personally. While there is very little added to it. Its still good to see people making high poly models. Well done.

Not everyone has old **** systems.

Perhaps in the next version add a little more to the shape. Perhaps a small generator box hanging off the side with a small light or something. Just small... but add a little bit of a personal touch.

But, yeah its good to see some high poly models like I said. Nice.

Owen1 · August 2003

i think the hi-poly is cuz there is 1 nice round pipe on the side

No i meant a new skin with more detail.

The_Thing · August 2003

Oh antifreeze, can I modify this hi poly IP and release it on the forums? (hope im not getting too extreme like when i asked sid for permission <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'> ).

antifreeze · August 2003

course, but yea your getting a bit extreme. I have no problem in any1 doing anything to my creations, long as im atleast in the credits.

antifreeze · August 2003

Ohh ffs. Pipex webservers have borked up, they say they are fixing it but no eta. So download link is down...

antifreeze · August 2003

Sorry for triple post.

Just quickly done a high poly granade round. Not going to release it though, you can hardly tell the differance at all

BlackPanther · August 2003

hey! anyone one doing high poly models!

Gotta say, i will not be doing an high poly version of the IP it's fine as it is now imho.
Any extra detail i'd add would be unnoticed.

And for 900 polys, i do not see a big difference from the old one! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
I could give you a few pointers if you want. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

antifreeze · August 2003

I need all the help i can get. BlackPanther any pointer would be very welcome.

BlackPanther · August 2003

Well the main advice i can give you to make high poly stuff, is to increase the level of detail on the stuff that is apparent at first glance.

For the IP, the main part is the border. But, since the whole building is small, if all you did was make it rounder, you'd have to crouch and look closely to see a difference. While as someone walking by would see nothing interesting.

So you have to use the little features around it, like those cylinders poiting outwards.
Make them a bit bigger and add more.

Look at my res node model i made. I made the whole thing rounder sure, but it's just to make the "8 sided look" go away. I took the 2 little pipes which were 4 sided, and make them 12, then copy/paste the whole thing over. Still hase the same basic look, but the detail is a lot easier to see.

As for my armory, i changed the panel to one with depth, since most ppl go right in front of them to get ammo. I also made the advanced modules that extended rounder, since that a dead give away of the status of the building.
