Looks good, but I would need to overlap the new superstructure mesh with a blueprint, to tell you how accurate it is

The funnel colour looks more similar to the one used by Cunard:



The black band on the hull looks a bit too dark though. It should be darker than it currently is, but not so dark that detail/rust/dirt on it gets lost

Hi everyone!

Planking is longitudinal, but ugly textures + graphic effects make really poor this effect. New textures will improve this, i'm looking for this.

@the_frog love those colors, if i send you the original tga, can you modify a little the file with this "Cunard" orange please?

@everyone if you want i can send a beta with the WIP unit.

Best regards,
Vd

Do the new decks have their texture mapped on the main unit texture or on a separate tga file?

I think Kendras was suggesting the new funnel colors with Cunard "scheme", not The_Frog.
Anyway, here is my intepretation of them: I made the bronze color on the funnel more orange-red (if need be, I can do it a bit darker and more red), and I have darkened/contrasted a bit the black bands on funnels and hull:

Let me know how the new colors will look in game

About suggesting the new funnel colors, sorry Kendras, you're right!
Testing now, just a moment!

ps For decks, separate tga file, like original QM 2,01

That's something I can hopefully fix too.

VonDos, can you please upload here the hull parts that need to be welded?

Voilà, parts to rework are stern (massive problem), forward superstructure (minor problem) and inserted stern's superstructure part from QM2.01 (if you can, please).

Here's a file with funnels obj also, maybe you can do same work for them, in order to give them a "rounded" design:

Can you please upload a picture showing the edges that need to be welded, for me to quickly do the job without messing up?

Hi Gap!

Here's related screenshot (I use gray ghost tga because in Cunard version those bugs aren't really noticeable):

Stern and stern's superstructure:



Forward superstructure (and first funnel):



All funnels:

Okay, I see the problems. I will see what I can do

Those meshes are from SH5 I suppose; for some reason granny-format geometries are broken along the edges of their UV-projections.

In SH5, as in other games of the series, split edges are treated as hard edges, but I think face normals are also considered. If two adjacent faces have normals pointing in the same direction (with some tolerance angle), their common edge will still look smooth, no matter if the edge is actually two coincident edges. By the way: did you import normals when you impiorted the model in S3d?
