New Military ATV, heavy on resources?

FSMCDesigns

I am on the fence with a purchase of the new Military ATV. The package looks amazing, poses, many texture options, rigged parts, accesories, all the bells and whistles and loads of detail, but that is what worries me. I have been getting burned more and more with resource intensive addons from a few vendors which is making me think twice about purchases more and since I have no history with this vendor, was wondering what others experiences are.

This is something that will be added to a scene, possibly with 2 of more clothed figures, hair, an environment and other addons, so I was curious how it is performing on others system, what it could be compared to, etc. yeah, I have the texture reducing scripts and scene optimizer, but I am tired of having to jump thru hoops to reclaim resources when I could be setting the scene up instead.

Sareth seems to suggest that all the textures are 4096 x 4096, but those would be only the logical ones and not all of them IMO.

There would seem no point in that size for exerything.

I kind of wonder the same thing. I also wonders about the Ravager Drone.

I have to agree. I have no desire to try and "optimize" recourse intensive models. Lately, if I load a model and my card struggles to render it, its returned. Yes I have scene optimizer. yes I have Mattymanx's recourse saver shader pack. I use both of them to pack as many items in a scene as possible. But if I have to use them to render a single model thats packed with as many hi-res texture maps, bump maps, displacement maps, glossy maps, etc., forget it its going back to the store.

Its a fun model, in my wishlist.

Beyond resource usage, it just seems to be a bizarre concept. It looks like it wants to be "real world", yet would be difficult at best to effectively use.

I stopped buying his models awhile back because of how resource intensive they are. Great modeling, but totally set up for rendering in apps outside of DS, like Maya, Max and Unity

I was thinking the same thing when i first saw it and discovered it was the spare wheel in the front that confused me since i though it was the back. I guess I will get it and try it out, I could be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for the replies all!

Dunno looks like one of those Quads Spec Ops use. I think it is fine.
