The ISS is near 2 million poly's and handles it fine. But the ISS doesn't move much.

As far as I am concerned, it handles them fine.
Anyone matter correcting me?

Although these models would require a hell of a lot of polygon trimming!

65k Polys per object can be imported (per object, not per file, ( a vehicle can have more than 1 object ) ), and if an object has lets say 1 mil.. you can split it in pieces and not "split", the vehicle can look the same as it was but that milion you split in objects of max 65k polys.But I don't really know how many objects it can have, so basically depending on your computers hardware you can handle it or not.But as well with the trimming, basically on the hands of a well trained designer the poly count can be drastically lowered.

I am pretty sure this NEEDS to exist in Outerra. No jokes, no funny.

Would love to see something retro and 70s(ish) industrial spacecraft designs make a comeback, stuff like the Valley-Forge from Silent-Running:



Something based on that stile would look so perfect as a colony ship.

What a machine of evil flattening !  :o  Just crossed some prototypes from russian Ural and Kamaz factoryes :







Its a work on the Typhoon project for the russian army. They want to achieve multiplicity of same structure usage - ural getting the mind of a potential civil-base line too on the same base ... will see witch one beats the rest, doe, nice design. (there is something similar going on for the light armor, still projects for 2015 to be described 2020/25 to be pushed to production)  ...

Yes, cant wait till a way for tracks to work is made for Outerra, then the terrain an physics will be put to a test. : P Thanks for vid.! Vytiaz is a werry nice one, old as hell actually. Still wondering why its so rarely used by the RFA, wanted to have pantsirs on that chasis, rocket-artillery systems (Grad-like) whyte a rearming section at the second part and heavy gun transports for difficult terrain parts of Russia to be built. Hope the 2020 rearming plan has some in mind ... doe, siberian and arctic planes are crawling whyte them like their were woods beetles. : P

OK.. Found a concept tank that I can live with. Here is his post www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60979 if anyone wants to try and coax the 3d model out of him for implementation into outerra.

I wonder if that extended pointed front will dig into every raised bump on the ground.

That's often the problem with artistic creations. All looks, limited real world utility :)

I was wondering about the low ground clearance... surely a tank should be better off-road than the default Tatra? Mind you, it could just be a road-going troop carrier, if something that beautiful gets into Outerra I'll be pleased :)

From what I saw on that link Zeos... the tank has 5 milion polys... you need to break it in to 78 separate pieces to be imported.But you need to re-texture it. :)

But as advice... it is more work to be done than 78 to work smoothly... you need to break each piece around 10k poly at least.. so thats 78x6... so you basically need to re-sculpt that to be made around 480 individual parts.It might work to be imported.. but it is way too much work to be done. :D + I'm sure it doesn't have an interior design at all.
