MiniMage: While I still find the model to be excessively big for such a simple model. I will approve it. If you are able to lower the filesize any further, I will increase the ranking.

 

[Mechanical Man]

You made it for that russian dude making a campaign?

 

[Heinvers]

wow, impressive. great work man

 

[Fingolfin]

No, i started making this long before, while i was doing the other planets. I just never finished it because it kept looking like crap no matter what i did. I came up with a method recently though, using monochromatic noise to make the lights, and it worked much better, so here it is.

 

[MiniMage]

The filesize is insane, please work on lowering it.

 

[Ahotnik001]

wow, this is pretty good,

 

[A Void]

Very simple. I don't think this model will ever be used- look at the file-size. For such a simple model the file-size should be smaller, please lower file size. 2/5, I will increase rating once changes were made. Nothing too impressive... The texture looks nice if you view it trough 3D Mode or In-Game, Editor.
PS: Heinvers, look at the poly count.

I know his models are usually high poly. But I really don't care, it's pretty darn good for scenic terrains. So file size doesn't count that much to me.

 

[Tauer]

Awesome
Might be a little too high poly, but still pretty sweet.

So you dont care about poly count but why did you then agreed that poly count was too big on Basketball Ring ?

Yep I agree about that and the polycount of the ring. Good execution btw

 

[Heinvers]

wow, now you question me I think I was drunk back then. Nevermind that.
I think I meant to say that the polycount is good. I must have quoted that guy by mistake.

 

[A Void]

Personally for me poly count does not matter, but it made me wonder when you said that you dont care about poly count of this model rather than basketball ring.

The polycount is not the issue here - the model itself is less than 40kb. The reason the filesize is large is due to how grainy textures, such as the city lights texture, are compressed worse than those with flat colors. Hence, the surface texture only requires 60kb, while the city lights take up 170kb, despite them being the same size. If i reduce the size of any of them, it will blur so bad you will not recognize what this is supposed to resemble. If i were to combine the city lights with the ground, i would not be able to make them unshaded, which means they would not glow. I have tried this and it looks really poor.

Just accept it for what it is unless you have contrstructive ideas on how to reduce filesize. For someone making a Star Wars map, this might prove invaluable.

 

[A Void]

You can use MDX Squisher. I hope that tool does not touch textures?

 

[Fingolfin]

It would work, but it only affects the size of the model after it has been compressed into the MPQ-archive of your map, it would not make a difference here on the hive. It also does nothing to reduce the filesize of the textures - only more compression can do that.

 

[A Void]

My final rating 4/5. Useful for Star Wars based maps and space terrain. If anyone is finding the file-size too large please use MDX Squisher.

 

[Stanakin]

Heh, awesome.

 

[A Void]

A better image of the planet so others can see the nice texture you made there.

 

[Solu9]

Hmm very nice planet you've got there.
The size? Screw that.
I for one will be using it anyway. For single player maps or campaigns it doesn't really matter.

 

[Streak]

I take test in the model
All what I can say nice model you got there can be use in campaigns as background and skin is pretty nice I think you should reduces the filesize here I give a way to reduce the filesize you make the model reduce size in editor hope you good improvement .

Since I uploaded my 8 MB Map Size: Limit Remover, I no longer care about model size. File size does not matter any more.

So your right other will not able to download large files and the creator created this model with large file its because the model ment to be that way. Well I think so...

[gorillabull]

its just a sphere.

 

[Fingolfin]

Your point is...?

 

[Heinvers]

its just a sphere.

His point points to his own jealously of not being able to make models )

 

[Fingolfin]

Next time i will make my planets in a more exotic shape.

I cant help it but my threads are never answered. My latest thread were this and no one replied for maybe a year or so. help?

 

[Splub]

Great model!

 

[redbaron4850]

I love your star wars models. This really comes in handy for my new project.
