Can i?

Hi, can i make starfury ships models using 3ds max then later on use it for SeV??

[Gandalf_greypilgrim]

Don't really know that yet, based on what we have seen, SEV uses the same rendering engine, so ships should be directly compatible.

[Instar]

The thing is the polygon count needs to be lower for SEV, I'm willing to bet, because more ships will be on screen for SEV than SE SF

[Gandalf_greypilgrim]

Good point, but I really think that with all the stars and objects appearing on map in starfury, with quite high polygon counts and high textures, I think SEV will be able to handle it. Then again, I haven't the slightest idea what the interface will look like.

Well, my advice is to try and keep the counts down... I have no solid number to shoot for, but try to offload details from polys to textures.

I would say, keep it down for now, and when released see how many the stock models use and have that as a base count

Check the SE5 promo screens. Based on the appearence of the models, it seems like they use in-game models..and the Terran ship in the one screenshot is exactly like the Terran ships in SF.

Ok i will keep the count down untill se5 comes out

[Captain Kwok]

About 300-1000 polys is a good target to strive for per ship model.

[Combat Wombat]

I was gonna say 500-900
