Upcoming Models #2

[Boblob801]

I think DJ mentioned this but the cut out for the rear shock canister can be filled in to give you a lower poly count and later alphed in the texture.

oh i never knew that. i will check into that. thanks again.

[barrington314]

idk much about it. but id rather just see LODs instead of making a shit model.

[rab147]

[quote="BuddyTheElf"]No problem, I also noticed you havnt modelled the bottom corners of the front number board.

also with the bottom clamp that it lies on.

[paulr093]

damn,i completely forgot about that.

LODs, what a mystery. Im just going to release a high and low poly version of my bike, so the ones with nasa comps can get the extra detail, instead of baking it down so everyone uses the same model.

[paulr093]

lol, nasa computers. hey guy, get on msn!

Make LODs. People with an awesome PC can run it at 100 model geometric detail and disable lods, but people with a lesser PC can run a nice model at a nice framerate. Just make the low poly version the first LOD.

[attacker5]

The low poly version will be the first LOD for the high poly version, but I have been told my high poly version will be to high poly to be the only version. So a separate low poly version is necessary.

[Motofinne #375]

The Suzuki looks awesome, i really hope there will be an high poly bike!

[DJ99X]

I don't understand what is so mysterious about LODs. You make lower detail versions of the bike, add _lod# at the end of their name. At a model geometric detail of 50, the lod will kick in at 2^# feet away. Eg yz250f_frame_lod6.jm will appear 64 feet away from the camera.

[attacker5]

Cool, how will the model geometric detail setting affect when lods show?

[DJ99X]

As I said, a setting of 50 is the base setting. Higher than this will make the lods engage at longer distances. Lower than 50 will make the lods engage at shorter distances.

A lot of people set their model geometric detail really low, even though the bulk of the models don't have lods.

[attacker5]

Um ohk, thank you. You can have as many lods as you want right? Also, what distance values did you use for your yamaha?

[Stickerz]

lol the way you put that DJ, I had to think about it for a minute, >.< I haven't worked with numbers in far too long...

Attacker, what is the poly count at for your high poly and low poly version of your Suzuki?
