[DeLiltMon]

Hmmm looks like it could be time to get the fire hose out.
Anyway got the pic as promised.
The Landy complete with shadow:

[DeLiltMon]

Oh and a little group pic, I don't think they'd want to buy this SA80 either  

[DeadMeatXM2]

lol, nice one lilty....

Nice to see my help/advice paid off...

Have you got the wheels sorted, or do ya need some help no that one too? (if you do just give me a call )

[DeLiltMon]

Thanks m8ey but I think I should be alright with the wheels, it's one of the things covered in brsseb's tutorial  

One thing I'm not sure of is what the resolution LODs actually do, are they for different view distances (in which case I can rip the inside of the landy out first for poly reduction) or are they used for different display settings in which case I'll have to have some form of innards.

[DeadMeatXM2]

the first resolution lod is used for the close up detail - what you see when you're standing next to the landy, the next on needs to be reasonably detailed as people on lower spec machines will see this as the close up model, after that, yes they are for view distances, so you can rip bits out of the inside/underside tro reduce the poly count - the lowest one you should use is the one we made over msn, (but change the value to about 8 to 10

[DeLiltMon]

As a rough guide how many poly's should I be looking to loose between LODs and how many LODs do I need?

[Mr_Shady]

Let us cease the *splurging* before I get banned. I've had my fair share of misfortune lately.

As far as I am concerned Lilty is GOD... or at least demi-god to Dave Grohl. *Meh.* Whatever

[DeLiltMon]

Hmmm I can see the religious texts now:
On the 1st day, He stared blankly for a bit.
On the 2nd, He read some tutorials.
On the 3rd, He made a box.........
On the 44th, He downloaded O2.....and so on  

[DeadMeatXM2]

lol.

Any way - youre aiming to have this no. of polys per lod

LOD 1 - 4000
LOD 2 - 3000
LOD 3 - 1000
LOD 4 - 500
LOD 5 - 300

thats a rough guide....

I don't think they'd want to buy this SA80 either  

lol. gonna print the and mount it with the photo.

Don't want a Royal Marine lid though  . Knowing my luck, if they made a film of my life it'd be Mel Gibson in the title role and not me. (Follow it - it's irony)

waits patiently for release (of landrover, not kooky's "special" fire extinguisher)

[Mr_Shady]

No more *splurges* from me, I've already lost one girlfriend thanks to that... she drowned in her sleep...  :'(

Can't wait for the Landy now.

Woofer, it's a good job you took up playing flashpoint after you met those Ruskies, or you might have just shot them where they stood for a quick 800 points  ;D

This is my first post in this thread(i think) but Ive been following it since the old forum (was it in them ?? )

But this is off topic of the landrover but on the topic of Brit gear, who was the guy in the old fforums who was building the STRIKER?? whats going on with that

anyway, cant wait for this mofo


P.S)Operation Ivy is the best band in history, everyone should listen to them

[DeLiltMon]

I think it was Smudge that was making the Striker.
And yes it was in the old forum complete with all the gory details of my titanic struggle to get bloody Milkshape to work.

Any way - youre aiming to have this no. of polys per lod

LOD 1 - 4000
LOD 2 - 3000
LOD 3 - 1000
LOD 4 - 500
LOD 5 - 300

I'm way under the that, LOD 1 is about 1100 but I'm sure I can find things to hack out for the other LODs
Got the joys of finishing the textures for the dash first though.
