Hi
I posted this yesterday over at www.scifi-meshes.com (http://www.scifi-meshes.com/), and had a lot of encouraging feedback so i am taking the plunge and posting it here as well.
The ARC - 170 is a Maya file and at the moment comes in around 12,000 Polys, i wanted to use it as an exercise in Hi-Poly building and have since realised what i considered to be Hi-Poly is now Med to Low, Progress...:-). So at the moment I am increasing the detail in the mesh and starting to model the interior of the cockpit and if time permits probably the pilots as well.
I am using photoshop for the texture : 1024x1024. I wanted to stay within the confines of game work and as a result there are a few shared surfaces; the wings for example.
I have been approached by www.scifi3d.com (http://www.scifi3d.com/) regarding hosting the model when its finished, so I better make a good job of it :-)
Any feedback is welcome, and if you`re interested in taking a stroll down videogame memory lane then feel free to drop by my site here
