I was trying to see how much I could put in a scene before my computer melted down. [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/biggrin.gif[/img] This one has:
Objects 263
Polys 583065
Points 711371
Lights 186
I have 256mb of memory and I was paging the HD, it only took 35 minutes to render though. Warlock by Chris Sapiano, Epsilon Nebula by Jeff Richards. Tempest Cruiser, Ark Royal Carrier, Cotton Tender and Cargo Ship by me.

Comments
same for the excelent transport, which, IMHO, you should try to design modular pods for. we've seen that cockpit hauling different cargo packages around. some look to be liquid tanks, others are cylindrical links of pods. Others are those links of pairs of pods that you see commonly.

I was running out of HD space for paging so I think this is all that I can put in one scene. [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/wink.gif[/img] Additional credits: Monsoon by Lars Joreteg converted by Fabio Passaro, Omega Destroyer by Matthew Tarling.

[b]Cotton Tender[/b][/quote]
FYI, it's spelled Cotten, not Cotton (do a DejaNews search for George Johnsen's post, to see), and that isn't the Cotten tender - it's a generic ship from Chameleon Eclectic's Earthforce or Babylon 5 sourcebook created by John Gronquist, who confirmed that fact quite some time ago on the Babylon Project RPG email list.
har har [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]
ok, whatever...
I still think it's a nifty ship [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]
the tempest class also kicks ass [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]
it's the new age hyperion (or roosevelt, or alpha, or...)

I have some more work to do on the Tempest, manly textures and a few little things. It should be done soon. [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]

[b]Most people call it Cotton, right or wrong.[/b][/quote]
What if most people called your Shirley? [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]
Seriously, though...for proof that the correct spelling is Cotten, go to these JMS and George Johnsen (he was another B5 producer) quotes on Lurker's Guide:
[url="http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/guide/111.html"]http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/guide/111.html[/url] [url="http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/find/Usenet/jms97-04-usenet/15.html"]http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/find/Usenet/jms97-04-usenet/15.html[/url]
[quote][b]I've heard of it being called the generic ship before, but unless someone can come up with a picture of the real Cotton, I'll just use this one.[/b][/quote]
Well, you probably should let people know it isn't the Cotten, especially since the ship after which you modelled your design was created by John Gronquist, who probably deserves some credit for the design.

Oooh...ahhh [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img] Is that the gunboat mesh you posted a while back?

The Tempest Class Heavy Cruiser (designed by Lars Joreteg) is the ship closest to the camera and the gunboat (which is an escort carrier) in just in front of it. [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]
