Default The Ships Skins Factory project.

Hi All,

I'm a fresh new member here in this community, but it's long time now that I make texture stuff for many simulators (IL2, Flight Sim, Arma, ROF, GTL, GTR, TrainZ etc.. Most of the sim that are open to modding in fact)

I'm also a long time user of SH4 (the best of the series) I use it most like a surface ship simulator now, using the great surface mods produced here.
But the render of the ships in game is just.. Well, that need to be reworked as the interest of SH4 was not on the details of the surface ships.
The problem is that I' couldn't manage to find the way to rework on the textures.

Few time ago, a friend give me the opportunity to use S3D, and finaly the door was here. I will be able to reworked the texture of the SH4 Ships, and start this old project.

Most of the ship of SH4 use the same basic texture, like most of the mod presented here on SubSim. This texture is use without any, or just few adaptation to the 3D model, that give most of the time some very strange thing. The ships look like wreck with some porthole that's look like shoe eyelet.

The idea of the Ship Skins Factory project, is to remake all the textures of all the SH4 ships.
After the basic SH4 version remapped, I will work on the differents MOD that have been developped here, to make something in the same spirit of the SH4 units reworked.

I will work by navy, starting by the US Navy, Imperial Japan navy and Royal Navy. Then Regia Marina, Kriegsmarine, french and russian navy that come from modding.
I will show the WIP using S3D render and one shot in game to keep something tidy in the post.
I make that project for my personal use, as I like to give to a beautifull 3D model a good texture, but hope that it could interest some of you.

US NAVY

USS Colorado



in game



USS Northampton



In game 1930 version



Stay tuned

Bookmarked.

Really looking forward to this. With all the wonderful enhancements added to SHIV over the years, ship renders and textures conspicuously remain one of its major weak points. Among other things, the disproportionately sized and often misplaced "shoe eyelets" are especially ugly.

SHIV desperately needs new ship renders and textures.

THank you. Hoping this comes to fruition.

EDIT: Not seeing any shots or links on the bottom of your post, Flush Deck.

I will probably make some JSGME MOD install system for each navy and will give a download link at the end of each round. So the first to come will be a pack for US Navy.
By the way, I start by the game units, and after I'll work on the MOD units.



Lets go on with the Baltimore class



In game



I've started also the work on the Regia Marina and Kriegsmarine to test the differents units that come from modding and the files system.

Littorio class



Zara class



Abruzzi class



Admiral Hipper class



Stay tuned

I'm on duty

Some wip on the units coming from Mod.

All the units reskin here come from the great Mod Soviet Waterway.
The 3D work on this Mod is just amazing. Big up to all the team for such fantastic work on WW2 units.

Most of the units repainted here come from the great Vaa's 3D skill.
Thanks for all those beautifull ships
