As I have done in the past, the release of this version of the Whitestar
will be accompanied by a low-detail version for use in setting up
animations and rendering distant views. The new low-detail Whitestar
is built from the same spline cage as the high-detail version, and
the first image on this page shows the high-detail and low-detail
meshes together to illustrate this. The final image on this page shows
the results of rendering the low-detail version in place of the high-detail
model.
I think you will agree that this is the best-looking of all the low-detail
versions so far, and yet it still uses under a thousand polygons,
so is suitable for a variety of uses, including use in the space-sim
I-War, as so many people have already done with previous versions
of this model.
