New Commanders in Files!

Omg!!!
Gurren Lagann is here! XD
Galaxy smash incoming! ^^

I tried making my own Commander using some of my HighQuality Mech models.
Unfortunately polycount is off the charts and way too high for PA

If my mech models were much lower in poly count id make it now!

I want the first one, promised myself not to waste money on aesthetics. But its just too good!

Yah, all our commanders are around the 3k mark. 116k probably won't perform very well without a TON of poly reduction.

This one will be for sale once they are final. These are still somewhat work in progress. Rest we are still waiting on responses to see if we can sell them or not.

I hope that first one goes on sale too; will get both.

Mod mech commander into PA.

First one.... INSTA BUY! I allready had massive trouble keeping my money in my pockets with the last batch of commanders but if that first one gets in the Armory, my vending machine will have to be stored in the garage for a couple of weeks.

The bottom one is awesome!

Who needs asteroids. Let's throw galaxies at each other

Haha.. y'know, it's not impossible. Depends on if they open up the API a lot more or not though. But imagine a mech commander game with hundreds of infantry / tanks etc and the majestic mechs towering above them all...

This is the first set of newly-released commanders in which I like all of them.

Pleaaaase tell us the Marauder-Lookalike will be for sale to!

Is it safe to say that 3,880 Polys are ok for a Commander then? XD

I love the last one.

Awesome!!! That's the one I wanted and it's the only custom commander I like the look of so far.

BTW Max - with good use of normals and some serious poly reduction passes, bet you could get that

I'd expect anything under 5k (and possibly as high as 8 - 10k) will probably be fine, as long as there aren't a million of em in game at once. Not sure where the fill rate starts to kill us.

Even Max's can probably get under 10k, with some good poly reduction and good use of normals.

I can definitely see the Gurren Lagann


But don't forget your Mecha heritage boyo. Or Zambot 3 will be displeased.



(This is making me sad that i couldn't pledge at the comm designing level. I want a Getter Robo commander )

Great! Good to know

That means my own Commanders fit the grade easily

I decided to do some Googling to see how many polys there were in for instance a player character in Quake (200 as it happens), and found a list that I found quite interesting. I never would have guessed that the highest-poly player characters tend to be sports cars.

Graphic animation models makes those poly counts look tiny..

The mech pic i posted above was over 250,000 polys when i first converted it from NURBS to poly, i got it down to 116,000 polys after 3 separate poly reductions
