Hi!
Very nice model, high poly or not.
I love it!
Just a question: will you put some platforms\guns, and\or liferafts on it?



Best regards, and thanks!

Тупо не грузятся.

Почему я закидываю большие шкурки в tex? Тут две причины. 1-ая - игра игнорирует шкурки из папки корабля и игрокам не надо об этом заморачиваться. 2-ая у меня жутко тормозит музей, когда большие шкурки в папке корабля. А остальные текстуры используются несколькими кораблями. В остальном у меня нет проблем. Ах, да, я тестирую корабли на стоковой версии.

1 - 107.000 triangles.
2 - Maybe in the future.

That, sounds to make sense...it would make more sense for the ships to have a controller, that would (& could, at that...) randomly choose from a multitude of different skins for more than 1 call for that particular ship... especially in a convoy, call triggered situation. (Same scenario, for... warships, as well... though that more in line with ships in a countries roster... as not all would share ships much across the spectrum... except maybe for some DD's/DE's... as in the case of U.S-Brit lend lease that did occur between themselves... with escort ships, from the U.S., to offset round out, the convoy system that was put into motion from the British admiralty, to counter the U-boat threat... but... I diverse.

1 ship model, a roster list for countries that would have used said ship... with a multitude of different skins to reflect different paint schemes, based on the time frame. That, sort of layout call, for the ship model... correct Me, if I am wrong... would & should also work with say... different parts/equipment calls, as well... I would imagine.

Try something like this in the Roster file.

[Texture 1]
TextureName=data/Sea/NBB_Colorado/NBB_Colorado_T01.tga
StartDate=19000101
EndDate=19991231
Frequency=1

I love your C1-B type cargo ship model, keep up the great work Alex and keep them awesome ships coming.

Just curious though, do you have any plans to maybe make a C1-A and C1-M models to complete the C1 set of cargos, and maybe even expand on your C2 type cargo by making C2-S-AJ1, C2-S-AJ3 and C2-S-E1 models as they were the four most numerous C2 variations built along with the C2-S-B1 which you already have?

I second that, though I think this class was called more properly "Treasury", not "Secretary".

Whatever is the correct class name, those sturdy ships saw an extensive Atlantic service from the initial stages of the war, being employed in a variety of roles, from coastal guard to convoy protection. They were some of the most effective US ASW vessels too.

I am surprised that no one has modelled them before, though the lack of detailed plans with hull lines might be part of the answer.
