[quote who="Darvin3" reply="2" id="3001174"]Unlikely. The problem isn't your CPU or the game's engine, but the RAM limitation of a 32-bit application. It's been stated definitively that Sins will not be going over to 64-bit, so bigger fleets are right out.[/quote] Non sense... More capital ship on screen mean more GPU power needed... it become a RAM problem only if you increase the amount of type of capitalship... Since people usually don't

I also tried exporting the same model (With one of the multitextures) into sins via 3ds max, and it had shading errors, where parts of it would stay black, and the general mesh was a greyish color, with very little affect from the lighting. I'm not sure if this is a max script error, as it's the same model that was ingame beforehand with a few parts of the mesh

Well, it only show what the iron engine is able to make... if modeler use a lot of time to optimize their model and texture, the iron engine is really a great engine... Poly count is near the 50k limit but texture memory use is 3 time lower that for a PSI starbase... and texture detail is extreme due to heavy UV optimization... in fact, the only way to see all the detail is to play with the dev.exe where you can dissable the zoom limit... model is near the weapons hardpoint limit too

[quote who="ManSh00ter" reply="6" id="2999783"]Yes, you can even avoid mirrored texture seams - you have to make a separate UV map for the tangents though. Basically, if you made your model by creating one half , UV mapping it, then symetrizing it, your UV maps will work fine for textures, but for tangents, in places where the symmetrical halves meet, you have to create a different UV island for that part, which is continuous across the surface. BUT, as I said, tangents don't care about t

Problem with sins is that different mod don't always stack in the good way... so, you need the individual one and some "mod consolidation" who put more thing together... As for Uzii's sins plus, you can find several other planet mod who have everything from Uzii, sometime more... In fact, if you don't wish any new races but wish more planet, better explosion, etc... i advice you to use "Distant Star" that you can found at <a href="https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.
