View Full Version : VIIC Skin: "Das Animal" + (WIP)Norwgian fishing cutter (Dial-up warning! Pic heavy!)
I've just finished "Das Animal". I think those brits and yankees would be scared to death if they encountered this beast in the open seas...
I've also included pics of my ongoing work on divinducks "cutter", trying to make it more Norwegian...
Well, here it is:

The fishing cutter skin:

The cutter skin is Work In Progress. I posted this over at Dowlys, because the Registration number appears on both sides on the hull (inside and outside, mirrored inside), and also mirrored on the opposite side. My mate Dowly told me that since there were ony one side of the hull in the texture folder, i had to investegate the .dat file connected to this. Is sounds like a good advice, but where can i find this .dat, and do i have to create a new "hull" to go with the opposite site?
Not sure about the blue section on the U-Boat but it is nice in a strange way. :up:

Nice work there Seth, the cutter looks real good. Maybe you should let safe-keeper know about it as it would be good for his Norway Ops mod he's working on. It could become part of the Shetland express (the fleet of trawlers who supplied the resistance in Norway).
"Das Animal" is a laugh:rotfl:Just missing the leapod skin uniform for the crew!:hmm:
Nice to have you back!
Yeah, its not my best skin, i know.. :oops: :rotfl:But its surreal in some way, yeah... Im thinking of just using the green seaweed thing on future repaints, and i'll think i skip the zebra/camo-stuff. Thanx steed and bookworm, i'll pm safe-keeper, to see if he could be interested. :up:
I like the camo scheme on the conning tower :up:

Thanx steed and bookworm, i'll pm Safe-Keeper, to see if he could be interested. :up:I sure as Heck am:up: (in the fishing boat, that is). Could you perhaps release it only to me as part of NorOps? I'd be eternally grateful.
As for the sea-weed, that's a very good touch, actually. It always astounded me how every single ship and sub in every game is somehow 100% free of algae and other growth below the water-line. Fair enough for a few ships that could technically be right out of shipyard or dry-dock, but not every single one. They should be green on the underside, not red or grey.

No problems, safe-keeper, its your exclusively. It wont be released to anyone else, trust me! (sorry guys, just wait for norops!!) I think i have to contact danlisa, my skinning-mentor, and see if he has some advice in solving the mirroring-case. And i'll also look into the algea and seaweed things, mate! I'll PM you when i have some more progress. Ok? :up:
Remember: The model of this cutter is made by divindduck; all im doing is repainting it. @ divin: Excellent model, mate!
Seth: :rotfl:What the **** have you been doing to yourself in the brig?
I love the fishing boat, but the VII .......... *Stabiz calls his nearest drug store*

No problems, safe-keeper, its your exclusively.You are too kind. Thanks a whole deal:up:!
But seriously, I see Danlisa is teaching you well. I have absolutely no clue how you do that.

Trust me, my friend from Vestlandet... If i can do this, you can do this too. I was a n00b to paintshop / photoshop, but danlisas manual is really easy to understand. Basically, its all about layers (and cool photos you find on the net, that you can use to "paint") Just try it, i bet you can do it! :up:
Oooooohhh! that's hard on the eyes!:dead:
Not a bad skin job. I like the green slime on the decking. Not sure how much would grow on a real submarine moving at a rate of knots though.

Moin,
@_Seth_
nice skin for the hull. But you will not succeed without changing the UVW Map Settings. Since Iīm planning to rework the cutter, after Iīve finished my actual project, I could include separate UVW texture cooardinates and textures for the left/right/inner side of the hull. That would allow you to attach a registration easily.
Regards,
DD

Seth, you can keep the VII skin, but when can we download the fishing boat? Looks great :up:

Hey Seth if you took those blue sections out of the VII skin it would be really funky.:up: Keep up the great work mate.

Seth, you can keep the VII skin, but when can we download the fishing boat?Bad news. I've already hijacked the fishing boat for my NorOps project. It won't be available until NorOps is:arrgh!:.
@ diving duck: That sounds excellent. I really like this cutter, and i havent seen any other model who could be compared to this excellent model! If you throw in those coordinates, i would be really happy! PS: Kudos to you for a great model !!:up:
@mr chris: I'll look into that!
@ you all: Yes, when i make a norwegian skin, i promised to give it to safe-keeper and his norops..But as you have read, i have to wait until divingduck adds the separate texture coords. But anyone could make a skin like this. I dont have any copyrights here, you know.. :rotfl:

Moin and a Happy New Year,
I didnīt mean to keep you waiting for so long. But I barely found some time to rework the texture coordinates. I tried to attach a second skin set in a manner of license plates. But unfortunately I did not succeed til now.

http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/7379/licpl003sh9.jpg
I didnīt create a map for each side of the hull. It would bust the texture in size.
So Iīve choosed to implement the registration in the NF_Boat_3_T??.tga files. Hope thatīs okay with you. Besides the license plates are 3d objects. So, they will no longer cause any mirroring problems.

This is the position to place the registration textures.
http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/2391/nfboat3licjt8.jpg
Download the reworked *.dat here (http://files.filefront.com/DD_Cutter_dat_lic_platerar/;6465748;;/fileinfo.html) or use the link to my filefront page in the signature.
Anybody whoīs interested keep in mind that without altering the attached *.tga files you will just see the wooden texture instead of the registration.
Regards,
DD

The S/S Right versus the S/S Left - Watch the political fishing boat duel to end them all, only on SubSim!
Seriously, though, good job.
DivingDuck, you are incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANX!!!
Master of modeling!!! :yep::up::up::up::up::up::up::up::up:
@ safe-keeper: I'll start right away on the norwegian skin!
When I first saw Animal I was thinking of the Muppet Show version. That would be differnt on the tower dontcha think?

Seth, that fishkutter looks G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. einfach super. Any chance of a Download later on?, Yeah I'm back, was playing around with new protractor tool, but didn't work in the end. shame, found other solution, then needed some R&R
:up:
