[REL] Wolfehunter's U-Boat U516

Wolfehunter · 09-26-07, 09:07 PM

Yes sailors I did it again.

This IXc Uboat had a successful history. Six patrols and 16 ships sunk. I like it and reworked the hull. The real surprise was under the waterline. If you see the orginal photos you just can make it out.

Too bad the real hull design isn't in SH3. Those photos are pretty neat.

So here is my interpretation of U516 I hope you like it.

I whitened the outer hull similar to the pics. But it is really a light grey almost steel like with weathering.

Here's the camo pattern.

Just about to leave port! They're waving good bye.

These photos are in Rez 2048 TGA files. I give both 1024 and 2048 for those who have the system to burn!

Enjoy it and good hunting.

If any issues show up let me know. The only issue I had with 2048 files is a longer load time.

Hey man - this skin really hard is kicking ass!!!

I hope you never stop making skins. I love your skins - every minute
of modder work is rewarded with new detail.
Sum of all details makes masterwork.

Beautiful work, and good job on finding an example. Good source material for camo patterns is had to find - or pick out from the older black-and-white photos.

Thanks guys. I'm happy that you like it. I know it isn't perfect but damb close.

Well I'm on the hunt for another Uboat.

Here's some eye candy on the camo.

I couldn't believe some of the waves were over 10 meters high.

All I could see sometimes was a wall of water and them we were swimming in it.

This guys hit me on the surface with his deck gun.. Out of the fog he's pounding me. I hit him with a torpedo as he was going to ram me. We just missed each other before he started to sink. I had emergency back on but we were both going too fast.

It was soo close.
