Here are some previews of 3D models I'm working on for DW:

Awesome.


Are you taking requests? :D

[Bill Nichols]

Prima!

:up:

[Ramius]

Nice :up:

[TLAM Strike]

Awesome.


Are you taking requests? :D
I'm always open to suggestions... ;) But any will get send to the back of the line behind the Haskell class Amphibious Attack Transport (Added because my dad mentioned today we have a namesake in the class), unless your suggestions is really cool.

in the mean time a few pics I forgot to post:

Well, as you might have noticed from other threads, my biggest priority would be bringing supersonic coastal missile batteries into the sim. The Chinese missiles, and now, BrahMos, would top the list.

I'm also not pleased with the generic SAM site (which IIRC is uses the SA-11, which uses an autonomous mobile launcher vehicle, making it a bad choice for DW anyways). I'd like to see "fixed" air defense sites (as much as AD sites are fixed nowadays, anyway) composed of seperate launcher and fire control radar entities. Specifically, I'd like to see the SA-2, SA-3, SA-10, and the Patriot ADS.

Other things on the wish list:
Virginia SSN
Lada SSK
FA-18 E/F
MiG-29
B-52
Landing Craft, Utility
Mk V Special Ops Craft
Admiral Gorshkov (Kiev)

I'd be happy to see a simple tug boat, something I've been asking for for a long time

:arrgh!:

A MiG-29 is in the works.
Anbhib is one of the areas I'm expanding some a US LCU is a possablity in the future.

I plan on making some US and Russian fleet/ocean tugs at some point.

No hold on to your bandwith cuz here are some more pics of some projects that are still a little earlyer along in devlopment (and a few that aren't):

Super! Love to see that!?Some wish mod, hope u can considered:?Chinese Yuan Class submarine?F22?F35?B2?F117?Chinese new fighter J-10??If you like, I*could send detail pictures of Yuan class and J-10??Cheers!?

[Molon Labe]

I'd second the Yuan.

BTW, if you build the MiG-29, you'll need a boat to carry them..... :|\\

And that container ship looks purdy. Nice to see she's all grown up now; I haven't seen her anywhere but the side of milk cartons since 688I.

[TLAM Strike]

I'd second the Yuan.I'm kinda waiting until more images of her are made public, I've modeled ships with only 1 or 2 pics on hand but I think the Yuan deserves better.

BTW, if you build the MiG-29, you'll need a boat to carry them..... :|\\ I remember taking my MiG-29K off the deck of the Kuzntzov in Flanker 2.5. :p

And that container ship looks purdy. Nice to see she's all grown up now; I haven't seen her anywhere but the side of milk cartons since 688I. Since I've havn't played 688i bear with me here, was there one in 688i? Because thats not from 688i, its a model based on a hull Xabba made many years ago.

Here are some more pics!!
All these models are ready to go- just need to be converted to .j3d and in to the DB they go...

you can model for DW with GMAX!?!?! :o :D I am very skilled at gmax and I'm currently working on a mod for bf2, I also love working in low poly... How will/do you convert these!?!(and what scaling converts to DW?, and does DW support non-square images?)

I also kinda owe XabbaRus, never completed the texture for the Grisha, honestly I found it very difficult to texture something thats already UVW'd, I'd like to even it out with a model or two...

dont do the Freedom of the Seas... I want to model that one!(Just came back from the real one a few days ago :D ) And why hasn't anyone ever modeled the Iowa BB?

Painting something that someone else has allready mapped is a pain the Type 22 and Foxtrot in the current LWAMI mod were painted by me but mapped by Xabba. Long story short I greatly reduced some of the maps in termns of size simply because the objects given a 1000x800 map were something I would have just stuck in the corner of a map and given a simple one color paint job. Xabba is a fine mapper its just that our tecniques are just diffrent in some aspects. (but thats not so say he isn't good at some aspects, I've adopted his method of mapping sub hulls :yep: )

There was a model of the Iowa in SCX so I assume we will be using it in LWAMI unless you make a better one. ;) If it comes down to it I guess we can run a poll as to which model to include in LWAMI.

I hope someone like Xabba or Aaken can answer your other questions because I don't know.

I hope you do model some stuff for DW Eagle1. :up:

[Eagle1_Division]

Since Ive replied ive almost completed the Freedom of the Seas :D . 1,4?? polies, it looks preatty good and I've created my own texture, just UVW mapping it now(does standard material work? :lol: ).

EDIT:the file errors every time it opens! D: . I'll restart my computer later... for now i'll just play DW...

[Molon Labe]

In case you couldn't tell, I had the Admiral Gorshkov in mind for the MiG-29. Without the Gorshkov, I don't think the MiG-29 adds anything, since the Flanker has very similar capabilities and is already flying off the Kuznetsov.

Anyways I hope we get to use the SCX verson of the Kiev class CVG since carriers aren't something I've modeled before. And staring off with something as complex as the Kiev yikes! :o

[Molon Labe]

Are those nations already in the sim and don't already have the flanker? If not, my point stands.

Iran, India, and North Korea (No airforce at all in DW!!!). :know:

Fair enough, but India's who I'm rooting for, and their the only one of those with enough of a navy for the MiG to support for it to make a difference with what we have now. In most cases, anyway.

[criptic hint] :shifty: Oh I have a feeling that in the next LWAMI Iran and North Korea's naval forces are going to be expanded to close to what Inda's fleet is now (in termns of total units)... :shifty: [/criptic hint]

[LoBlo]

Very very nice.:yep: Especially the launcher and containment ship. Models that can span all missions are especially cool since they will show up over and over and over again like civillian ships, airports, etc in any and all missions. Individual country platforms are awesome, but don't get the same 'face time'. I second ML view of a bigger more detailed "radar/SAM" installation. That would be nice.
