Description
I started working on this model about 5 months ago and have kept working on it. I am about 80% done as of now and I am NOT looking foward to texturing it! Here is a collage of the ship which also has no name yet. It's just a battlecarrier with a freakish amount of detial over 1 million polys. Kill me now :P

Nice! I know how hard it is to work with after 1 million polys. I like the detail and i know how it also feels to have to texture everything. Since one texture wont work for the entire model.

I think your computer is already dead. If not, well, good luck I like it, very much so. Its so detailed and yet so simple at the same time. Works well!

Sweet! So you are over the hump--you only have 200,000 or so polys to go (LOL)

WOW! Astounding! Really fantastic work. I am currently learning LightWave 7.5 and enjoy seeing work with it. Well done.

1 million polys? and I thought 50,000 was a lot (well it is, for Wings..;) great work. Don't feel bad, there's a fella in Truespace who makes models of over 60 megabytes..;)

Didn't beat me! one of my model was 175Mb in size!! :D Very nice work on your carrier! Nicely detailed too!

Believe it or not I am building this model on my laptop! Thankfully I just maxed out the RAM at 1.5 GB. That helps a bit but it is still slow. I actually split each section of the ship into seperate files so it is easier to load and animate. I don't know how I am going to texture this but it will be painful quite. Hurleyman, good luck with learning Lightwave! I just learned how to use the TEMPLATE DRILL tool a few weeks ago and it really made a big difference! Believe it or not I am just a beginner myself. I have only been actively using Lightwave for about 7 months know part-time and I am in Iraq on deployment!! :P

Wow! 1 Million polygons in a single model, could you imagine a scene with fleet of these ships in it. I was going to mention, I hope that you model is broken up in logical layers/parts so that surfacing will be much easlier. I render the space 1999 screne that was on Lightwave 8 content and it was slow on my 3.2Ghz P4 with 1Gig of ram. I believe the screen had 1.2Million. I belive if I had 1.5Gig or more ram, the scene would run a lot faster. Any way nice work on your modeling..

Tremendous amount of detailing here. Despite the straight forward simple lines there is excellent work on the greeble. You might want to have a look at a product called "MicroWave" from Evasion 3D, might help you crunch those polygons down without losing your detail.

Wonderfully detailed space carrier model with an interesting overall shape. You have so much modelled detail here that even a simple hull texture or two and a few running lights would be all that is needed to complete this way cool design. I deeply admire your courage in serving our country in such a dangerous place.
