[TEC] Too many faces!

[miner1436]

So I have found a great new model of the Hiyo carrier, just one problem, it has 64k faces! I can only open it in 3DS max, wings 3D can't even open it!
I was wondering if anybody could help me get the face count down to a more reasonable number. If you think you can help I will send you the 3D model via message.
Thanks : Miner

I think that's either just under or just over S3D's limit. :hmmm:

Wish I could help. but I'm only good at making more faces :D

@miner1436

you have to split the 3d modell!

split it into several parts and then make for example 3 3D models in the .dat file.
that should do the trick and work!

[miner1436]

I would like to try that but I don't know how to split it using 3DS max, I only use it for making AO maps.

if memory serves me right Misfit Model 3d can handle a 65k face model.

[miner1436]

Yea, tried it and Misfit can load it, too bad i don't know how to use it.

I uploaded the file to my FileFront, it has a lot of things on it that could be deleted to make a lower face count, mostly guns and the bridge. If somebody could do this it would mean a lot to me.

Thanks:Miner

I'll take a look at it and send it back asap

EDIT: That explains a lot, the guns themselves are practically a whole submarine model in itself

EDIT TWO:when I got the model running it said the model was actually somewhere around 165,000 faces O_O but after eliminating the guns it's down to 80,000. should be pretty easy to split up by yourself.

Sweet can you post a link?

Thanks you will be included in the credits :

yup, uploading to rapidshare. there will be only 10 downloads and I know a lot of poeple will want to look at it, so let me know if you can't get to it.

88,000 recorded faces. those doors are equally facey. you could perhaps come up with a lower poly version and be done with it

[miner1436]

Thanks! Work has started and its allready down to 38k pollys.

[Sledgehammer427]

that'll fit in S3d :yeah:

and you are welcome!
