Vegastrike is almost ready to enter betaJust some sound development needs to finish...Unfortunately Vegastrike is Geomeetry limited.... For me to release the beta with a decent framerate I need Lower geometry ship models that I can swap in at certain distances.And I have no 3d modeller with which to shrink the number of polygons of my models!I would really appreciate it if people could take a look at the models I have here:
http://reflection.dyn.dhs.org/3ds/vsorigand
http://reflection.dyn.dhs.org/3dsand convert any they can read to versions with lower polygon counts so I can start specifying levels of details and support the battle of earth (>500 ships) Any help will be noted in the readme and on the website...I appreciate it!Please send me the models or upload them
hellcatv@hotmail.comIf you're curious how I know VS is geometry limited:It turns out in large ship battles (eg 400+) the framerate goes up from 4 fps to 11 fps by removing reflection calculations.This indicates that vegastrike's framerate for large numbers of ships is completely limited by the geometry being drawn.
