Default Good "Nagato" model

If you have extra money you could buy this and get it to work with SHIV

Pay 79 bucks for a model? They must be out of their minds!

Actually its quite low priced. Good 3D skills are not cheap

I really miss the Nagato class into the game...they were fast and beautiful ships, with no doubt the Japan's best bb (after the yamatos obviously) and for sure among the best WWI-era battleships. They were also the first ships in the world to be armed with 16inch guns (406 mm)

some days ago i have downloaded a good PDF doc about these battleships...very interesting

The price isn't surprising. I sold a model of an aircraft for US$100. to an animation company. It was highly detailed.

Hi all,someone could tell me how to implement a turbosquid 3d model vessel into SH4 and make it work please? I would appreciate the detailed steps.

Thanks.

When you figure out the manhours and skill that goes into creating a 3D model like that it comes out pretty cheap.........How many hours for a good artist I wonder..........20?

Turbosquid even has a very nice Graf Zeppelin Flugzeugtrager, which never got completed during WWII. But wtf!?!?! $200! Would have been a great one for an extension to ivank's TSWSM, with the other Z plan warships.

What I would say is the Nagato model is a seemingly fair price by looking at its superior quality. I have brought this topic up before that I would love to see the Nagato and Mutsu come to life in SHIV. Although these two battleships saw minimal duties during WWII, but these two ships were without doubt important to Japan, with its eight powerful 16 in. guns, it was the second most powerful class of battleships in the Imperial Navy, only to the Yamato class. Its origins from the First World war, when Japan was a close ally to the entente powers, where the Japanese navy had adopted many concepts from the British, one example was the Kongo class Battlecruiser/Fast battlship, which employed similarities to the britsh battlecruisers. However in 1920, Japan was building its first igneous super-dreadnought, entirely from Japanese design, the Nagato class, which was matched by the US's West Virginia class battleships and its 8 16 in. guns, as the most powerful battleship in the world. The Nagato became the flagship of the Imperial Navy until the Yamato's commision in 1941. The Mutsu blew up in July of 1943 by a fatal cordite combustion. The Nagato went on to be the only Japanese Battleship to survive the war afloat. Enough of the lecture of history....:p

IMHO These two battleships are hard to leave out in th game, they still EXISTED during WWII, it would be cool to have a what if naval battle involving all the Japanese and US Battleships and their escorts ofcourse, which I make in the mission editor. And see who is the last navy standing.:p Or how bout a Mutsu conspiracy theory: Sunk by a US submarine sneak attack, not by a fatal explosion by cordite.

Best Regards,

Well gentlemen,time to time.Lets TSWSM team do their excellent job and after that,like Ivank told us in a post -there will be Carriers-,we can bring to life a fantastic Carrier Ops supermod implementing all the active units of that age,and also non comissioned ones like the Graff Zeppelin as a kind of what if situation.
At that point,some 3d models can be purchased if needed,count with me guys .

Time to time.

I just went and checked out the japanese carrier and the Graf Zepp, I loved the Graf, I would not mind buying it, I just need the money. Wasnt to happy with the Jap one, it could just be the angle and that I am just waking up(lol). If you guys find any other ship models, that are great, please PM me. I am always looking for them. anything to take the work off Shammer427's back

As I am the original author of the Nagato model, I can give it for free if anyone can implement it successfully to the SHIV(Send PM). Atleast price shouldn't be the stopper in this case. I'd love to see all her guns working. Shame that this computer doesn't have enough horses to run the game or I would have implemented it myself. The model took 40 hours to complete and the money wasn't the primus motor in this case.

The model was originally intented for use in VS but I haven't had time to finish her for that platform
