Sins of a Solar Empire Ships

[ian]

you do know i just mean the shapes of the ships dont you?
not the tech or even textures of them

[Praetyre]

I see.. no issue with stylistic inspiration, it's full on imports I object to. Sorry if I misquoted you.

Though, if you want a SOASE mod, that's a different story.

Good point.

I have work to do.

Whats the polycount of mentioned TEC and SOSE ships? Beside the fact, we have many designers doing a great work, i'm in doubt these models could be imported the direct way, due to their polycount.

the polycount is not the problem with these ships - they have a rather low polycount. - but what you might forget is that the ONLY reason they look so fabulous is due to shader effects. - bumb mapping, normal mapping, real reflections, material settings, RT shadows and not to mention voluminous lights, blur and blending effects.

if those ships were flying with the old freelancer engine - they d look rather boring. - their design is nice.. but not as original as the freelancer ships. - on the other hand, if freelancer had access to the dx10 effects, it would look fabulous, too. - just imagine bump and normal mapping on shiphulls - dynamic damage textures, real time reflections on the round glass canopy of a cavalier, field of depth effec on battleships etc.

hard to compare those games - as so much has improved in the years between both.
