"Sure they can. Those ships were made with 3D models already. The ship set artists just have to make them in a slightly different 3D format, and they will work fine."

Except that most of them probably have far too many polygons to be imported and still run smoothly..my Cluk-Ruk ships, for example, are 3d. They're also upwards of 20,000 polygons.

So reduce the number of extraneous polygons...

Not possible in Bryce. I'd have to- and will, eventually- re-do the entire set from scratch in another program.

Those boxy ships are 20,000 polygons??? Geez, what did you do, go into millimeter detail on the gunports?

The next game will be SE:V. There will be no more games in the SE:IV series, even though patching and support will continue.

I guess the manufacturers label and serial number on each gunport takes up a lot of polygons

Bryce is designed for making landscapes and such, which require loads of polygons to look decent.
