In Response To: Re: They look like defects (Stretchy)

: A lot of the forge objects look a little weird compared to their in-game
: counterparts, so I assume its to reduce polygons and to make the object
: more forge friendly. If you look at the current covenant objects in forge
: they all have a similar look to them, which doesn't quite look right but
: with proper lighting and placement you can make them look much better. I
: doubt they want the objects to look like that but it's something they have
: to do to make them work, also might explain why we didn't get any covenant
: forge pieces right away because they had the most noticible change from
: their ready for forge procedure.

So it probably is an artifact of trying to reduce the polygon count....

I remember trying to use some open source software to reduce the polygon count of a joystick made in SolidWorks and I ended up with what looked like a pile of triangles; you could've cut yourself on it. :-)
