I was thinking of making my own FPS in java, wrote a really simple engine, and while I was polygon modeling and rendering a head, keeping the poly count low, they always seem too .. blocky. How do they (the real 3d devs/artists) make the game polygon models seem smoother, and not kill fps? It's not fair! :*(

Java is not a game development platform. Honestly, the reason it's so laggy, is because you're using J. Nothing else. Convert your program over to BASIC or C and you'll find it will run a lot fater, simply because it can do a lot more.

You can make you game in Java. They make the models so well because they are skilled. It will take practice to get to their level.

Like Fattie Robs.. They look so sexy, but keep low polygon counts.. is it the texture that needs to look good?
Edit. But your wheel still looks funny

1) it's not mine

2) those guys are ment to be displayed somewhere between 10 and 50 times at once on the screen (meaning 10-50 individual units to control)

Yup. Like EVE for example, we all know it looks good. But the models look like absolute crapness if you remove the textures.

They also use bump mapping in games to make the models look like they have more polys when they don't. And what the people above said, a good texture always help.

Actually I think reskinning a lot of the ship models to something higher quality would be awesome.
