[TEC] Too many faces!

miner1436 · 09-29-09, 10:02 AM

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.

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

@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 · 09-29-09, 03:56 PM

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.

Sledgehammer427 · 09-29-09, 05:11 PM

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

miner1436 · 09-29-09, 06:59 PM

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.

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.

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.

EDIT: http://rapidshare.com/files/287010986/boat2.obj.html

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 · 09-30-09, 08:24 PM

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

Sledgehammer427 · 09-30-09, 08:41 PM

that'll fit in S3d

and you are welcome!
