3D Models

[Dr.Sid]

Nice .. hey that is this VS of yours right ? The screenshot suggests they have billowing underwater view (I mean the shapes are distorted) .. right ?

I can understand that GTA SA falls for such cliche .. but it is in SH4 too .. and now VS ? I'm really disappointed.

[SpookyMuFu]

no, it isnt in VS, I photoshoped that pic quite a bit, VS doesnt have it but I wish it did, I like it. I would also like water particles and "run off" as you come out of the water but it doesnt have that either.

[SpookyMuFu]

Big update........

Torpedo tubes and torpedo loading hatch done.......
Flood holes painted........
Bow Plane retract slots cut..........
texture really re-worked.........

[XabbaRus]

Russian props have a crucifrom shape on the end. Something to do with the flow coming off the end. Though I'd let you know so you can get it looking good. I like the texturing you have done.

[Bartolomeus]

Nice Akula Scott.

Here is the USS Plunger SSN 595. The third unit of the Tresher/Permit class.

marko, do you have a profile pic of your model?

[SpookyMuFu]

okay, prop update..............I have one more blade then a real akula but thats the way it is.....

[XabbaRus]

I'll find a picture and post it for you.

[Bartolomeus]

Hey Scott...i hope it is the right view.

[SpookyMuFu]

thats the one Marko.............I dunno, it doesnt look teardrop shaped enough to me, but it might just be me.....

[Bartolomeus]

thats right Scott...but the Thresher/Permit class has no distinctive teardrop shape. here is a pic of the Thresher. and the Plunger in the drydock.

[SpookyMuFu]

I thought those classes had the same basic shape hull as the skipjack but stretched out longer and wider.......

[SpookyMuFu]

I think this Akula II is done, maybe some texture work but I think thats about all

[Bartolomeus]

Looking very nice Scott! Great work.

And here a new Render of the Plunger.

[SpookyMuFu]

any updates Marko?

[Bartolomeus]

unfortunately not yet Scott. I`m working on the hull details and the remaining textures.

[Bartolomeus]

Sneak update. This is the final texture set for the Plunger. Iam working on the details and the stern textures.

[XabbaRus]

Spooky do you have any good pictures of teh Kilo especially the stern from above, dry dock type?

I'm getting a 1/144 scale Kilo soon so will be wanting to make that look good.

[SpookyMuFu]

like this?

[XabbaRus]

I was thinking real pictures of the real thing that you worked off of.

oh, i used Google Images (http://images.google.com)

[XabbaRus]

I have found a few decent free 3d models of civilian vessels that are in .3ds format.

If you want I can send them in.

Also have a good KA-27 but it is very poly heavy.

[Dr.Sid]

Any models, anytime. Just send them.

[SpookyMuFu]

I dont know if this forum is still active, but if it is, I am currently updating my Ohio SSBN, here are a few pics

[Dr.Sid]

Great job, as usual ! You still got my email, right ?

[SpookyMuFu]

Great job, as usual ! You still got my email, right ?

thanks, no I dont, PM it to me and I'll send you the Ohio when it's done, also, I dont remember which of my subs you have and dont have..

I extended the scopes a bit after looking at a few Ohios on google, it looks odd but it's "right".....

[SpookyMuFu]

okay, the mesh became a mess trying to cut in details and so on, so I decided to start over, here is what I have, what do ya'll think?

[Dr.Sid]

Sweet ! Bit glossy though ..

[SpookyMuFu]

yeah, the rendering program does that if you dont change the parameters, and I was too lazy to fiddle with it...

[Dr.Sid]

Great ! Reminds me to do something with those masts .. should be easy.
I'm in middle of active sonar, and there will be screens soon !

[SpookyMuFu]

great, looking forward to it.

[SpookyMuFu]

Okay, I think I'm done with the exterior unless someone can point out something it needs that I didnt include.....

[Dr.Sid]

I'm afraid at this moment only guys onboard such sub RIGHT NOW can point out some differences .. sweet.

[Dr.Sid]

Nice .. but isn't the screw rotating the opposite way ? I like how the wake copies the shape of the sub. Does VS do it simply from the model, or do you have to define some simpler shape for collisions and thing like this ?

[SpookyMuFu]

hahaha, I knew someone was going to say that, yeah it does look like that in the video because of the software I use to capture, it isnt high enough resolution to capture it accurately, but no, it does turn the correct way. The wake is a preset bmp file, it looks the same for every ship, it looks "right" on this one but it looks "off" on others, just a limit of the "sim".
