Model by model:

Hull and superstructures - 3643

Broken B half (not visible) - 2876
Parts B - 1118
Rudder - 94
Propeller - 370
Details B - 25637
Funnel - 1636
Port 5 - 700
Port 6 - 700
Windows \ glass details - 108
Lifeboat (One model used for both) - 1048
Mast B - 2669
Crane (One model used for both) - 718
Small lifeboat (One model used for both) - 1048
Interior - 3910
Meteorit LS - 831

Broken F half (not visible) - 965
Details F - 3482
Port 01A -12
Port 01B -12
Port 02A -14
Port 02B -16
Port 03A -12
Port 03B -12
Port 04A -14
Port 04B -16

Water reflection model is actually the model himself.
Arado plane is an included model with 2273 triangle too.


Total should be between 50000 and 55000 triangles circa.

Details on both A and B could be reduced.


I'd think the open Gun Port parts could also be re-used.

Any duplicate part can be re-used. Save load time for the Game files and creates smaller file sizes.
Render time is not an issue with todays systems.

I agree, every duplicate part.

For example, every porthole can be replaced with a node linked to a 3d model of a single porthole. With a water reflection controller too, if it's used into an equipment into an external library file. But this should require a big number of nodes (and IDs).

Gun port are specular 2 by 2, and if you take a single side, everyone is different from others, in shape or dimensions. Maybe there's a couple of them who are "similar", they can be replaced, but with a certain degree of "approssimation".

IDK, reduce file dimension is always a good idea. Increase IDs isn't always a good idea. And, after all, i've seen lifeboats in WOW with a larger number of triangles (well, maybe this is a joke related with lifeboats, but, seriously, some models are really more complex...).

But everithing can be improved. Sure.

Ummm, No! Many of the port holes could be linked to 1 3D model.
Just like you did the Life boats.

Please say thanks to flus deck. Without his work on textures, those models wouldn't be as they are. He's the real artist!

Many thanks for kind words my old fellow
As I said before, a good dress can be done only on a perfect body shape. And I must say that your hard work on UV Map is a pure velvet for the paint job

Each time it's a feast Chef. Thank so much for your work and your models

And thank you guys for your support. It's always a pleasure to read you

Thank you

Small note, i've reuploaded Komet with a little of fix for a couple of museum data. Nothing changed into the model.

50000?

My last ship - 33000 triangles... https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...&postcount=361

Yep, i see her, really good unit, like her, like all your model!!

In this ship, 30000 is the count for details only.
Ability of split the ship in half required by herself 5000 triangles (and that's a really optimized point, because every porthole, rail, door and small piece is common for intact and broken-in-half ship).

Talking about details, most of triangles are parts of portholes, who are present in large number in this unit, due to her mercantile and civil origins.





Every single porhole appear to have an interesting number of triangles.
Maybe I could have used a simpler model for this small part? Sure! But, after all, i like the effect on the ships

Vd
