I like that ship design a lot. Nice work, Ozy. The materials look nice too.

Cool pics!! It's cool to see what you're doing with this

Well done, guys!  This looks great!

Ozy your  original universe ships are always a blast to work with.
I have not even started in on unique materials for it yet . I was able to run Decimate a few places in blender to make it closer to game ready mesh .

poly count is not so much a issue these days but you still want to spend your polys wisely .

baking normals form mesh and such can make a huge diff. blender has a visualization mode that is screen space normals. It's not perfect but it's pretty good for making game materials. Blender 2.8 is kinda a Swiss army knife of indi game dev.
 i have not even fully updated blender yet, i dont thing . LOL im just on 2.8 . seems there is a  2.8.1 or such now . LOL


it is truly a great point in indi dev world with:
 blender .. free
 Paint.net ( and it many wicked plugins ) .. free
 Godot ( game engine MIT Lic. ) .. free
 many indi devs sharing how they do stuff, in way that were not  possible before. ( Youtub , twitch , Vimeo ... )
 free texture and resource sites

other news , i rolled / twisted my ankle  and it hurts like hell.
COVID-19 has work all shagged about but we seem to have things sorted with a plan .
Heather's law suit has entered the offer for settlement phase, it could soon be over and done with.
my old Rav4 (2004)  is becoming a Rust4 ,has far more wrong with it than worth fixing, so using tax return $$$ to replace it ASAP , even if just a car for now . Probably a Yota' Matrix ( 2010) that's is totally new by my standards LOL
If Heather's settlement is decent , we play to get a proper SUV again, for ease of getting in and out and having to drive snow in winter.




 

Wow, that's a lot of information!

Good luck to you and your ankle. Please take care of yourself.

Good luck with Heather's lawsuit!  I wish you both great success, and a new SUV.

Yeah, good luck with everything and definitely take care of that ankle.

It all depends on what kind of computers you want the game to be able to run on. Poly count still matters if you're trying to run a game on a computer with a "meh" GPU or APU. Really, anything that makes the graphics prettier will slow a system down that's not running a dedicated gaming card.

There's something to be said for a game that can run on a budget laptop.

yeah, I will try to virtually limit it to 2GB video mem.

The ISP tech did not come to fix my net, ugh
// but my foot feels way better I did stretches and light exercise with it all-day


and I need to make a couple of ship sketch tomorrow. I took day off to let my foot heal.

That's really cool!! Glad they imported okay. Hope things work out for you in these crazy times too.

Oh man, that's fantastic, you two!  Cool!

Thanks guys. my foot is way better tonight.

looks like I may have the yota' matrix on Thursday night.
