Full Version: [mrel] Low Poly Armory V1
| QUOTE |
| It's not life changing, but it's a piece of the low poly scene. I chose the armory for my first model because it was relatively simple and I haven't seen a decent low poly version. I'm calling it v1 because it's my first model, and I imagine I'll find something I don't like about it later. The armory has 63% fewer polys, and maintains the shape and functionality of the original. |
And now, what you're here for - the screenshots:

I like it - it retains the details well for such a polycount reduction. GJ.
Very nice, it looks default 
Almost makes me wish my computer couldnt handel defaults... Almost...
Great Work tho... A must for all those slower computers...

nicely done at first i thought it was the defualt and you were posting before and after pics very good specialy for a first
If my computer was crap, I'd use this. GJ
I am now using this on my old PII. And mirrored at www.nsarmslab.com
:O wasn't looking for anything low poly, but this will certainly help my fps problems 
good luck to your future modelling "career"

Thanks, DeathKnight. I appreciate the mirror.
Good job. Thanks for working for those of us... err... YOU that cannot handle too many polys in HL
This is really good! I may just replace my default Armoury with this one. (I have a fast enough computer, but I like this one a lot)
good job

Glad to do it. And I tested the model on many of my lower end systems. I saw some frame rate increases so I love this thing
Now if someone could do a low poly pack for those of us with older computers.
Deathknight, I appreciate your optimism, but if you saw appreciable framerate increases from a 272 poly decrease, then your computer really needs some help 
There have been a lot of low poly models released, but it's a lot of work for one person or team to have a unified pack. Here's the low poly stuff that I use:
Ollj's low poly pack - Alien offense and defense chambers, skulk, hive, gestate, some projectiles, and sentry, turret factory, and health pack. Each model is around a 50% decrease in polys, and stay true to the originals.
Dr Fuzzy's Doom pistol and shotgun - really low (~50) poly v_models
Maus' 31 poly lmg - a 31 poly lmg v_ model
Arson's low poly turret pack - ~60% reduction in polycount, and they don't look that bad. I prefer Arson's low poly turret and factory to Ollj's. Just a personal preference.
The Real Quasar's phasegate - ~50% reduction in polycount, but he missed a few polys I'm sure he meant to delete, and there are other ways of rearranging the polys for even more reduction. I plan on doing this at some point in the future. [EDIT] I did this in my low poly marine structure pack[/EDIT]
Grizzly's world models - the peewees are already low poly, but hey, why not?
Million's gorge - Laughably poorly skinned, but it's certainly low poly
There have also been a few "lego" packs released for the marine structures, but they're all horrible IMHO.

Huzzah for PII's!
Using hence my P2 400
thanks for the linkage snappy, these'll definitely come in handy
