It's been awhile and I have to redisign them anyway because there's just a waste of polys-<br><br>Here is one of them- half textured:<br><br><a href='http://www.kimmygorden.com/carrisian_fighter.jpg' target=_blank>www.kimmygorden.com/carrisian_fighter.jpg</a><br><br><a href='http://www.kimmygorden.com/carrisian_fighter2.jpg' target=_blank>www.kimmygorden.com/carrisian_fighter2.jpg</a><br><br><a href='http://www.kimmygorden.com/carrisian_fighter3.jpg' target=_blank>www.kimmygorden.com/carrisian_fighter3.jpg</a><br><br>and here is a police vehicle:<br><br><a href='http://www.kimmygorden.com/GFED_sig.jpg' target=_blank>www.kimmygorden.com/GFED_sig.jpg</a><br><br><br>Now that I realize I have to keep the polys down around 2000-2500 I definetly have to revisit the whole situation- which isn't always a bad thing. <br><br>I started building a robot tonight but soon realized I was going overboard when I checked the face count on ONE of it's legs (1440). <br><br>UGH. <br><br>TEXTURES are going to be my friend- I THINK. I've been reading that while you CAN have multi-textured .DTS files- that don't mean they gonna play nice with the engine and my FPS rates. <br><br><br>sigh...<br><br><br>I guess no one said it would be easy.<br><br>Edit Sawheeeet! Thanks Stephan!
