now you can look at it again and add some details where realy needed

[Futschki]

Ok guys,

i did recreate the GDS Maverick,

[Camille]

you should really try to make some nice renders... these are not at all appealing to the eye.

[IPS]

I agree with ka1000, a good presentation is essential

hmm, you have to learn which details you can add with the skin
try to make that model with 400-550 polys and same amount of details (with the skin)
then it will be great

I know it's not very polite to show my own models for example but
305 polys
416 polys (775 with rockets and landing gear)
maybe you can see what I mean

Ok , u want Renders u can get them ^^

Here i introduce u The GDI Starport



this Building gots around 1697 polies less than a WarFactory (2500) LooL

Greetz

[Futschki]

great render mate but still u can reduce poly count ... look for useless polies and delete em

[pirate]

I think 2500 for this model is fine because its much more detailed and because this is a spaceport, it could turn freely in space so the faces on the other side of the landing pad would still be needed...

and unless you have real eccesive amounts of polies (say more than 10000) the game won't lagg, because the things that produce the most lagg are ai, particle effects, locomotors(and pathfinding) and the physics for a bit...

more polies however as you have prolly experienced, means more skinning work, but when you do not have problems with that, the poly count is not something to worry about....

Great model

[ribot1980]

um..., this model don´t have 2500 polies

the originaly WarFactory have 2500 poly ...

this gots only 1700... and it is a building on the ground ... no flying thing (more something like scrins Airpad)

and i reduced it to 1600 now...

Why are so many people here complaining about poly counts anyway?
Have you actually modded C&C 3, or are you just used to modding Generals?
Units in C&C 3 can have poly counts in excess of 3000 (for the large ones ~2000 for smaller ones), and vertex count of up to 2000 (they some times go above that, but that is the recomended vertex budget).
Well, structures and large units actually have the same vertex budgets.

The thing that matters more in C&C 3 is the number of separate meshes on your model.

I do of course agree that unneded polies should be removed, but C&C 3 can still handle them.

[pirate]

Great stuffs , however I don't think those reflections are very realistic in space and your sig is rather big now ....

[ribot1980]

Hello members,

Today I would like my and your attention to the Brotherhood directed,

because this was not idle and developed the technology of Banshees ...

1. The Banshee Fighter (662 polys)



2. The Banshee Bomber (712 polys)



Hope u enjoy and happy conquering

Greetz Rib

[Camille]

[ribot1980]

Hello guys,

here i made two Drones (not sure if it could be) WIP



Greetz RIB

[ribot1980]

I got bored again...

and that the result...



around 560 polys

Greetz RIB

[Mbob61]

nice work
you are improving a lot

Mike

[ribot1980]

Thanx a lot...

this i call learning by doing...
and it works... the way step by step

Now i need to know something about modding...
The last time i did give up modding course game game crashes down everytime,
and fixing Animations, Particle systems i don´t know everything ...
and without it wont be looking good...

so again, if there is somebody interests in these Models , contact me via PM...

Looks good, though a bit too fragile. Maybe you should thicken the sides of the turret and other parts, it looks as if it would blow up from a single tank shell.

so here i present to ya:

the Cyclopse
an experimental Walker drone
classification:a medium Combat Walker between the Wolverine and the Titan
Weaponssystems: 2 hugh 20mm Automatic maschineguns
Strong vs. infantry, light vehicles and Aircrafts
weak vs. heavy vehicles



1994 poly (no bones and effects including)
but it need more work its only the first step...
