Since I've been mentioned a few time in this thread I thought I'd just post to hopefully clarify some things. For those of you who don't know, I was developing for the project Mako Dawn, a Fallout 3 total conversion. As SpooX noted, development has since ceased for the reasons outlined in the link he posted earlier in this thread. The mod is currently available from the moddb page. I'll be releasing an update to that mod which will include all content / areas ever made for the mod (or at least which I can find) which previously weren't released because I considered them too incomplete or just irrelevant to the project scope. These in include (but aren't limited to) train cars, subway tunnel, upper Shinra Building floors and a Midgar model. Following that, I'll then try and arrange a release of the work files (ie the Blender, Photoshop, midi files) so that it'll be almost as if the person who downloads it has the same stuff as the developer. The latter release's file size will probably be much bigger and take longer to organise since some of these models / textures are years old.
Although I'm no longer developing Mako Dawn and don't plan to again in the future, I am working on one of the train cars right now just for fun and to keep my modeling / texturing skills sharp. I've basically held off the release a little so I can include this model. It's not finished yet, but here's a render anyway:
Anyhow, I'll post somewhere on Qhimm again once each release is... released. As noted elsewhere, anyone who wishes to take over the project / use its resources for theirs is welcome to - no strings attached.
For reference, my Midgar model (it's actually not
entirely created by me) has roughly 42,000 faces. A lot of those are probably quads, I don't know what the tri count is. The model is in a state of half completion and I had planned to replace a lot. Basically I wanted a model that would look nice that could also be rendered in FO3 without slow downs. The idea was to have parts of the model visible when you looked out the Shinra Building (and it is!), but it's not anywhere close to how nice I was going to make it... oh well!
