XSnowfireX Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Im offended by your post Luuke, because I still have a damn 500 mhz computer. Anyway, why dont you release both things. The one without the LODs(whatever they are), and the update adding the lods
Absath Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Snowfire, just because its a custom character, doesnt mean it isnt Star Wars related....its a Jedi...how much more related can you get? =P do we have to wait for lucas to show us every single jedi that served in the galaxy before it becomes "official"? -Abs
Nookie Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 It'd be nice to see Darth Maul and a few custom Zabraks.. I mean, the skins are good - but a proper model would be better. The mystery Jedi sounds cool too... Sounds like a mystery.
D'akt Sangwar Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 i hate to say this but 4nick8 the LOD's i am just 2 desperate
Yom Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 I say take your time i know we all have been waitng for this for a long time so what is a few more days. Yom
Zolden Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Without. I doubt lower end systems will encounter problems unless theres more than 10 of the fetts in the same room. How often will that happen? And if they do... go buy a better computer =P. Recent games are going to require high end systems from now on anyway...
XSnowfireX Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 I think you might have misunderstood what I ment. I was trying to say that, maybe I just didnt make it thorough
Keoni Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 I don't know what to say, but like Luuke, I have a high end system, so It wouldnt bother me as much to have them released as is. I feel selfish though....hmmm... But I'll have to say as is...
omses Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 4nick8 the LOD's!!!!!!! high end system me have, 4nick8 you do!
Adarin Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 I'd say.. Release the model in an hour or so to tide people over, then do a rerelease in a week or something, if LoD's are important. If the model is fine and dandy on everyone's machine, don't worry about the LoD's. I dunno much about modeling yet, I don't even know what LoD's are for... You guys are doing a great job, though. Release it when you are ready, and if you are ready, then go right ahead. =P
Lime-Light Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Forget the LODs, then release one version with hem afterwards, if you still feel like working on it. Just tryin to save your back
Ten Tigers Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 4nick8 the LOD's .....and of course if youre feeling nice you can release the welfare version latter...
Luuke Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Originally posted by XSnowfireX Im offended by your post Luuke, because I still have a damn 500 mhz computer. Anyway, why dont you release both things. The one without the LODs(whatever they are), and the update adding the lods sorry, didn't mean to hurt anybody with a bad computer. i was playing on 400MHz until i bought my new one 6 month ago. so didn't want to offend you!!!! Oh, and Abs and Blood rock da Houz!!!
BloodRiot Posted May 21, 2002 Author Posted May 21, 2002 Missing a few LOD's wont hurt that much. The model will work without them. It's just a measure for making the lower end systems more confrotable when the models are away. LOD means Level of Detail. It's like when a model is right next to you you see a top detail level. As they walk away from you... you start seeing the other lod's that have lesser amounts of detail (you wont see the detail anyway cuz they are far away) so the lowest detail looks like a virtua fighter 1 model... but since it's far away you cant really tell. Lesser polys... less cpu effort. But i doubt the absense of LOD's will slow the frame rate that much. If the ppl decides for no lod's... which seems to be the case... I will post an update pack later on. Decide now once and for all. 40 minutes left.
Darkhold X Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Im pretty sure people will be fine with out the LODs for now. You can always rerelease the pack later on with them included, and any other tweeks, and improvments that might arise. Now is ofcaorse my vote.
Master Anakin Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Me is equal. I just want to be the poster number 1000 on this thread. But if I have to choose I would prefer models with level of detail, as long as the no LOD ones are released tonight. Because this way you have the time to do it without all the whining Jango/Boba wannabes.
Darth Vengance Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Take your time. LOD's are good! I have a 1.4ghz machine, so I'm not basing my vote on a hardware issue.
omses Posted May 22, 2002 Posted May 22, 2002 where am i? HAHA i got 1000th post, Now I Am The Supreme Ruler Of The Universe!!! because the 1000th post gives that too you, you know. ....ill shut up now.
Master Anakin Posted May 22, 2002 Posted May 22, 2002 I have no problems with my hardware as well, but a model would not be complete without LOD. But until the problems are solved (or if you will solve this) it would be really sweet to have the model tonight.
