Alco S2: Model completed and optimized

[Noel]

This is just really beautiful Rich. I can't wait for this to come out!

Thank you all, for your kind words of encouragement! I am very eager to get it working properly into the game. I am hoping I will be able to "consult" the community with help in regard to the blueprint madness coming up. In some ways, I feel that my challenge with this beast is only starting ~now~. Let's hope this goes smoothly into the game.

Thanks again, everyone! I really do appreciate all of your comments, pm's, etc, etc... cheers! ~R


ps....maybe just in time for your New Hope Route, when it's complete, Noel! ;-)

How many polys does it have?

How many polys does it have?

Hi,

POLYGONS:
Interior: 10,652
Exterior: 14,637

TRIANGLES:
Interior: 20,511
Exterior: 20,660

Triangle counts, as you know, are a far more important number to pay attention to, in regard to what the CPU needs to display in a frame of animation.

Also, the triangle count will go up an additional 750 to 1000 for the cab, because I will have to include portions of the exterior model that can be seen from the cab, when you are in the cab view.

So, overall, you can see that the model is very much optimized for average speed pc systems. Shouldnt be too taxing on your rig, if (like me) you dont have a mid, or high end pc.

Best,
Rich
