Warzone 2100 Forums

  I'll see if it works with .3DS, then .

  To where should I send the files, by the way?

You can attach them to your posts here (see "Additional Options..." when posting your message).

I'd also like to know a polygon/triangle count of your model (curiousity mainly).

  Is 856 polygons too much ????

Currently we probably barely hit 200. But I don't that it is too much. It can be reduced afterwards in case we don't get the engine fast enough to display it with acceptable performance.

I want to help allso!

In which format the models have to be? What models have to been done?

unless / untill the renderer is changed these i belive are the rule of thumb.  this was a result of the conversation between myself and Grimandmandy.

  I'll try to use less cylinders/ spheres so the polygons reach roughly 100~300 .

P.S.: I've already made viper / small body wheels new models but my internet is kaput!  :-\. I'm using my brother's work computer for posting only, so when my internet return to shape I send 'em to you.
  And 856 polygons are not the count for the model wich I have posted as picture I'll find out how many they are, for curiosity's sake, right Giel?  ;D

  I'm remodelling some vehicle parts (like, adding some smooth forms to the 10 polygoned viper ;D). I export my files to 3DS, because Giel said it would be better for them to work on it.

The max polygons limits is 512,though there is also a 512 vertices limits...so all polygons have to be 'point' if you have exactly 512 polygons...

though the limits is per-pie not per droid,a droid is assembled from a body,2 propulsion and 1 or more weapons,so each component/pie only has 10-30 polygons/50-200 points.

i did give the poly counts here


- also if your interested - there is also a page on the bodies ( pies) showing the polygons there as well. - look - its all in there.

or you could duplicate polygons a lot. if you're not assuming that a model must be convex, then the number of possible non-duplicate non-overlapping polygons increases exponentially with the number of total points, and exponentially again when you increase the number of points that can form a polygon -- warzone allows for a maximum of 10 points per polygon, which need not be coplanar.

  My internet is back!

  I've managed to reduce my viper model's poygon count from 856 to 76  (:o) It is now attached in .3DS with wheels already on it. (How do I change the textures from wz2100 to .bmp, .tga or something like that? and where are they located?)

  P.S.: Coyote, your links were of great help. Thank you.

  I'm now working on new Bug.

  Alrightey, round 100 polygons! Bug is finished. I'm going to Leopard now.

  Hey, if anyone wants something to be done a different way, please say it (before I do it all )

  Attachment: new Bug body.3DS

   Leopard - 136 polys (I promise I'm not raising polygon count in geometric progression ;D)
   Now working on Retaliation.

   P.S.: I'm learning UVW unwrapping. It'll take a while, but when I'm ready to do some texture mapping, I'll send 'em mapped for you (or at least the UV files and image ones). Have anyone seen my models?
