HOPE YOU LIKE IT Embarassed

i both like the graveyard and the new tank! Very Happy

Please make a seperate topic about the graveyard though - that keeps things clean around the forum. Smile

Keep it up!

oh man....i've finished the tank....i started doing the lightmapping at 5 o'clock (argentinian time)...and now it is half past eight pm. and it hasn't finished yet Shocked

...i've got more than 45000 polys xD Cool

....hope it looks great....and finish for today Rolling Eyes

I like both those tanks.
The first one needs a cockpit where the driver sits, and some spikes on those tracks, plus textures.

The second one looks great textured and with tracks. Smile

well guess that my 44756 polys didn't let me do the lightmapping in time...in three hours i only got 7 stripes in the status bar Confused

...
here are the screenshots without lightmapping Sad

I think it looks great! Very Happy

You should try to optimize the model by using the Optimize command in combination with optimizing it by hand. I am sure you will find a number of polygons that can be removed or otherwise rearranged.

Lightmapping a 35000 polygon model in DeleD Lite is probably not the best idea, as this will generate 35000 * 32 * 32 * 4 = 140MB of texture data, which might be a bit much for a single model. Very Happy

Longer explanation: DeleD Lite uses a fixed 32x32 lightmap size per polygon. Which is nice for models up to a couple thousand polygons. DeleD PRO uses a dynamic per-polygon lightmap size, using smaller textures on smaller polygons, creating a much more efficient (and better looking) lightmap in the end.

On the long term, I think a lot of the details of your tank (like the bumps on the sides) would be ideal for a normal map, greatly reducing the amount of polygons needed for the actual model. DeleD doesn't do normal mapping yet, but this is definitely something we have planned for the future.
