Years ago i had a full set of textures for Tholian ships of SFB design i did the where based on different jewels. I have had a few HD crashes since then and the textures haven't shown up in any of the recovered files. I know a few people where interested in them but I cant remember who I gave copies too. Does anybody happen to have them?

Found the textures now looking for a good picture of the underside of the impulse unit of the Miranda class studio model. the sight where all of the detail pictures of the models taken after the auction is gone and I lost my folder of reference copies in the HD crash.

Lost it and the Mirands in the HD crash. That's the FASA D10 not the SFB one right

Yes, the Fasa D10.. there is one in the Evolution Mod, but its not exactly what im looking for.


and I haven't seen the SFB one I don't think

edit: also, I went looking for the Miranda Pack, I may have it on some old HDD that I have, but I can't access them until I get an IDE adapter

Ah, yeah thats what I thought.. also keep in mind, that the Sins meshes are also pretty high poly.. relatively speaking..

if you use full lods for meshes and textures 5,000 polies is easy to use

Oh you can do 4-5K polies with just texture LODs and stuff will still run pretty smooth.. but I know some Sins ships are pushing 8-10K..

I used to run multiple WC Sovereigns that were like 20k a pop.. I just wish we could get Armada to utilize the GPU more or use DX11...

The trick is in how much new stuff you want to code into the hook.dll to replace parts of the original storm 3d engine. Oh course I'd love someone to pick up the new Id tech engine they use for DOOM eternal and do an Armada game on that.
