It just so happens that yours truly has been able to procure a model of the hornet in .obj format. That is the good news. The bad news is readily apparent when one looks at the bottom of this pic and sees the number of polys. I know that you in the past have been able to get some VERY high quality models working in game. I don't know if even you will be able to get this one in though. However I was wondering, might you be interested in taking a crack at this beauty? It currently does not have a texture applied to it, but it does show just how high the quality of the 3d modeling in Star Citizen will be. braddw25 attached the following file: You are not allowed to see attachments in this thread.

The Magic 3D modeler program only permits individual .mag files of 16,000 polygons. A 99,000 polygon model would require 6-7 .mag images or craft parts for one craft thusly put together. Very unlikely or even possible. I think there is .mag model number limit per craft in Starshatter .def files. The most I've done with craft in the past was 4-5, at most. Imagine attempting this with this 199,000 polygon model! No my friend. I freely admit Starshatter's, Magic's and my limitations. Yes, I have limits. Challenge closed. It sure is a beautiful model though.

While it would be way cool to be able to fly that ship in SS, it just goes to show how awesome the graphics in SC will be!!!
