800 is kind of the high limit for this kind of unit. However, did you take out detail on polys that wouldn't be seen from the "top down" perspective of generals?

that still looks superb 👍
and having a model around 1k poly's wouldn't matter that much compared to an 800 poly model if i'm not mistaken.

Umm... Would be a good idea but if the Orca was to go into a roll when it's crashing... Or if a cut scene was looking up at it from ground up...

Right now, we have no cutscenes. I think the crash animation would be a spin not a roll...

If we were to do a cut-scene and that were to be the case, we would simply use a more detailed model.

I remember watching the ORCA Bomber spiral and show its underside during normal play in TS. I recommend we keep a bottom side for the model.

Isn't this the normal ORCA and not the bomber?

Nope it's the bomber. The Orca fighter only has a single boom unlike the Bomber and the model which has a double boom

Refers him to MicScoTho comment in the AS forums. 😛. And remember that generals is more of an angled top down, not just a direct top down, so some polys from the side-underneath can in fact been seen. But still that optimized model is awesome! I'd personally come round to everyone's house that would refuse the model and run over them in a mini.
