Hey guys,

I was playing some DBZ yesterday and the idea popped into my head for an energy ball. So i started on this replacement for the ion beacon. This is the back model. It is in a containment case. when it is in first person it will look diferent! but thats a surprise!

*note* still trying to find a nice aluminum looking texture for those purple bars. Also, I will be putting glass in if i figure out how to do it.*

It's Ok, I guess.

Spend 2 more weeks improving it and it may look even better.

It needs a custom texture, and an unwrap. Think, your calling up 6 large textures just for a back model when the whole terrain around you might be using 4.

The whole model is at a way too high poly count. Make the whole thing 1000 polys at a maximum.

Oh, and that model isn't exactally unwraped by using a plane unwraping method. Unwrap each peice and box them into a 256x256/512x512 texture.

I managed to unwrap it and texture it with one texture like you said. Is there any way to reduce the poly count as it is now?

Have about 6-8 sides on all the cyilnders, take the segments of the boxes, reduce the sphere the same way.

It depends on the logic you took to build it. If you converted everything to editable mesh, yes, you'll have to redo it unfortunatally. If not then select the mesh, choose the box/cyilnder/sphere modifyer from the stack and reduce segments.

Optimising is crap but gets the job done. Never knew that was in renx...

If you export it as it is people with lower end graphic cards will have a very hard time using it. A bit like me when i join n00bstories with 39 other players, 2 seonds after i join i crash out due to an overload.

HOLY SHIT it's over 3k polys!

Hmm.... I realy, realy don't want to go back and re-do it.

Let's face it, this was kind of a learning run for me. I think i'll do what i can with it then ill release it. If it doesnt work on someone's machine then tough luck i guess lol. For my next model i know to set a poly buget, put all textures in one file (whick i ended up doing for this).

As for release, i'm going to show you some screen shots when i get home and then you guys can tell me if you like it enough to release it. I want to work on the fireing sound more and then some of the hand anims need some work. I'll be sure to keep you guys posted tho.

Thanks alot for the help
