How come my GF4 can't do it then =/ I'm stuck without being able to display even certain lighting effects, and have to stick to about 8x6 rez.. Exdeath is going twice what I can there =P

CPU speed? Cpu type?
Ram?(speed and type and how many mb)
HDD speed?
MB chipset?
AGP speed?
Type of geforce4? TI or MX? full reference.
Version of driver?
Then I might tell you what's the problem. As far as I know, my old Geforce 2 MX was able to run Renegade AT FULL DETAILS on a athlon 1333mhz with 256 mb. Resolution was 800*600.

Wtf? Gf4 MX AGP8x 512mb RAM HDD is really damn fast (I forget the RPM, it's irrelevant) 2.8ghz P4 dual core, all my drivers are the newest there is.

Nice work. This is by far Reborn's best work, however I still think the crystal could be much better. It is good that you took out those scratches, but keep in mind that it is a crystal, and crystals are almost never smooth, it seems very unnatural for crystals to look smooth. I think All you really need to do is make the cuts much more visible (just unsmooth the crystal in renx, and export). Your crystal looks way too smooth. Try to give it a feel of a gem, perhaps a ruby gem. You've got more of a pinkish feel than a redish feel. But you know its your mod, if you like it that way keep it.
Good work

One concern, it seems kind of low. If all the other buildings around it are tall, it'll only be able to defend a smaller area. Intended?

Chrono, I play Renegade on 40 player servers with all the detail settings on highest + all the lighting effects at 1024 x 768... and that's with an Athlon 2.0 GHz + 256 Mb of RAM and a GeForce 4 Ti 4200. So that's all running fine with less RAM and processing power than you have. I'm guessing it's your graphics card that is the problem? From what I've read, GeForce 4 MX is mainly based on the GeForce 2, unlike the "real" GeForce 4s which are new cards. Apparently Nvidia kept improving the GF 4 MX though, because it sold a lot... so it's like a lower-end card for people who just want something in their price range.

I don't recall there being any cuts in the crystal. It wouldn't hurt to add some if that's what people want. I like it smooth but it might make it look better.

GF4MX sucks... it's worse then a Geforce 2 titanium or a FX5200.
Any TI4 serie can compete with a FX5600/5700 almost. But a MX can't it's a bad card for running games on high settings really.
Other then that... if you really have a p4 Dual Core which means 2 core's in 1 cpu ( Like a Dual CPU) that's pwnage. So if you just upgrade your GFX card. You can Run Renegade at highest settings.
But the MX serie's just misses some features.. it should be able to run Renegade decent though.

This is correct, you still have a good system btw. It's just that games like BF2 ecta need pixelshader 1.4 because there engine sucks. But games like Hl2 doom3 and even Farcry should run perfect

Yeah, my system is a Dell Optiplex (couple-years-old edition) with two video cards... the built-in one with the normal style monitor output and the.. well, shipped-installed GF4 MX that has one of those fancy video connectors. I'm kinda limited on interior space so I cannot really get a card that's got a huge fan attached, I'll get you guys the specs of my case space later and see if you can make some suggestions.
Semi-faceted as the concept shows; that's it glowing deeply right after firing, so it is a bit hard to see without knowing the shape you're looking for. Model's got a few details that I feel like letting slide, but if a second one is done, this is your reference.

Aware of that model, we are. It sucks too much. Concept is far superior.

You don't work in 3d programs, do you?
If you did, you'd understand that Renardin's concept he posted is just about perfect for creating such a model.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

Every time you speak you make me want to go conservative. Seriously.
I could give you a blueprint, a full schematic of a GDI war factory, and it'd be superior in terms of ease of use. HOWEVER, it wouldn't be an Obelisk, now, would it?
