*squints*<P>Can't tell for sure... but a geodesic sphere will give you a lower poly count without a big reduction in quality.

The polycount is not that high ... 795 faces. ;)

Kewl! :) But I think you can use much more polygons, as the bigger XWAUP ships have also way more than that. I'd go for about 2000-3000 faces.

I know. Just lemme do - this is my first death star ever! I'm still trying around with it.<P>My actual goal is a Death Star 2 :D<P>However - about the size - I'll make it the max size - 40 km.

I hope it works better than the original Death Star OPT. If you crashed into that one, you'd go through the surface.

This is awesome! I was sad when I found out the death star model wasn't in the game.

Right again - but quads are easier to textures - as there are fewer of them :D

I knew that Defiant I was being sarcastic. I uploaded some Geospheres if you want to give them a try General_T. Btw you should really try to get something other than rhino, your severly handicapping yourself.<P><A HREF="http://www.freewebs.com/meejahoor/geosphere1.3DS" TARGET=_blank>Geospheres</A>

Wow, Vince. Could you make landscapes that smooth? :) I think landscapes are where we should max out the XWA face limit--whatever that is. The landscapes I've been using so far only have about 1500 faces. Going to 6000 would be a huge improvement.

Oh, BTW, @Abolisher: Sorry, but It actually isn't that smooth. This is a render pic from Deep Exploration. And concerning landscapes, hmm, I'm not really good in that. What I've done so far looks very rough.

Then you're not texturing right. Polycount matters not with texturing. +)
