SH4 ship texture question

tenma · 01-04-14, 09:25 PM

Hi all,
I'm new here and a noob to the silent hunter series(or any subsim).

I have seen many great mods for silent hunter 4 and i was wondering if it would be possible to add ship/sub textures from the anime "Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova/Arpeggio of Blue Steel"

I love the series as it is all about sci-fi naval warfare and the Fog Fleet using WW2 vessels. If it is at all possible how would i go about recreating the textures, i dont think the glow would be possible though.

Maybe one of the mods will move this post.

I did some checking on this 'Fog Fleet'. Kind of neat.
I can think of 2 ways to do the textures.
One way to do the Tribal looking stuff would be useing the occlusion texture to paint on.
I'd think export the 3D parts you wanted to paint and do it in something like Tattoo which is a 3D paint program (Or any 3D paint program really).
I'd do it differently though by creating new 3D objects to texture and add to the dat file.
You could also add a glow effect this way.

Really Japan? What am I saying of course they did something like this. I'll admit the 3D ain't half bad though.

Not into the Anime stuff myself.
But it is possible to make the Ships in SH4 look like the Fog Fleet Ships.
I'd imagine alot of the effects could be done if one really wanted to.

If you ever want to see a good one watch Cowboy Bebop.

This would be an example of messing with the occlusion mapping.

ICK!!

If you change the texture you should also change the sensors on the enemy AI's. As easy as that would be to see they should sink it 100 miles away.
