9 F4Fs in Formation:

Single F4F to show Detail:

I have 9 F4Fs in formation here. Look at the FPS. I only have two levels of Detail on it, High & Low. These planes are all using the High LODs in the Pic and the FPS is good. I tried it with 18 F4Fs in formation and got about 22FPS in 800x600 Glide.

Nice! I think people should make some low poly bombers too. That way you could have lots of planes in the air, but only the human controlled ones would be detailed.

Heya,

Very nice that you have carried on with this project. Falck didnt want me to turn it into a F6F =)

Anyhow, I made the skin shown in your screen shot. "Its not done!" Falck never sent me the model to test it on. I did the template even before the plane was mapped. So I'm sure it needs to be tweaked. Also I have a psd.file that has a couple of different color versions of the same skin. Grey/white, blue/white,all blue and grey/light blue.

If you send me the files before your release, I should be able to tiddy up the skin for your release.

Oh, and the nose art and kill markings, I'm sure need to be adjusted.

you can mail them here: [mailto]twest3@uswest.net[/mailto]

Sorry zoycite. The reason i didnt send you anything was because the only thing i had done was the high level 3d model (most of it anyway)

I've put up the files for the F4F at my ftp.
(ive mailed you the address)
lets just keep everything there so we can all work on this thing together and do it right.

I think between the three of you (Falck, Zoy, and Razor) that it's pretty freaking awesome...and as far as this weekend goes, I think I coould sum it up in one phrase...

I'd hate to be flying a Zero this weekend.

Very interesting idea... low poly bombers.

If done cleverly, could we not get like 50 bombers in a game? No cockpits, hidden gunners, etc. Also flat wings, etc. Just for kicks. It would not look like art, but it might be fun just to see how things play out

Then make some friend and foe low poly fighters. Then you be in your own squad with a normal plane. Now try to get like 50 bombers, 20 escorts, and like 20 enemy fighters in a game!

From what I gather though, it is not so much poly count - rather it is physics modeling that slows the FPS in SDOE, so maybe these low poly aircraft might not halp as much as one might expect. Still it would be interesting...

Spanky here..

I don't know about going crazy with the low polys. if you go too low it will look really crappy. And make it harder to see them with only a flat poly for the wing.

A bomber with only the 2nd LODS would be cool though. And all the interior ripped out.
That could be pretty cool.

YO YO MA. I was just thinking. What about changing the switchin distance on those bombers so the highest detail LOD was still there but didin't switch in till REALLY close.

AND pull out all the interior.

Is there anything else we could do?
