Snubs exceeding polycount - Unlucky_Soul - 04-26-2016
So i was studying the design of some of the snubs in discovery and noticed most of them exceeded the polycount mentioned in this.
Some questions cropped up.
1) Why are the snubs exceeding the polycount number that was mentioned in the mentioned thread?
2) Are the snubs that exceed the polycount limit going to be replaced?
3) Is there a lax limit ?like certain details like pipes contribute to increasing the polycount? Will there be a consideration for that?
Asking these questions because keeping the low polycount in mind regarding snubs there isn't much leeway we can incorporate in designs.
Thanks in advance

It is always good to keep this in mind yes. But how about Caps not having LOD1, 2s?
Discovery is not about optimization, I don't think it was a strict rule anytime.
If you can keep it low - do so.
Basically: that is how you master modelling, by making it in exactly required detail (polycount) level.

On a side note I would like to say I am not satisfied with your work on Coalition Battlecruiser (or what was it) texture-wise. The model is being actively promoted and pushed forward by Coalition players, but I beg you, refine textures a bit more, do it so that won't end up on my list eventually.

I offered to re-do it, but Tabris said it is fine
As for the polycount i wanted to ask if in case i exceeded the limit set by incorporating some details.

You can, sure thing, but you have to be sure they will be seen in game. From camera distance.
Also, you can make LODs for it.

Tabby might have said it was fine, but always make a backup
You newver know.

Tarbis rushes it. Unlucky, you are the modeller, you must dictate your rules when it comes to this activity. If you thought it was not finished, you should have insisted.

It may be my model but technically its his/his faction's ship. If the client is happy with it what can i say. Anyways i guess this is not the place to discuss this.
Hit me on skype...

Sure thing he is happy, but he is not the only client of yours.
EDIT: I don't know where to find you on skype, neither I really want to keep this theme, so lets consider we have talked on this matter and I am not stealing your thread anymore.
