I havent had much luck with my own attempts at modding. a while back i modelled all the missing interiors for the type7 only to discover that although i could successfuly import the models into sh3, they didnt keep their texture infofmation when imported (stupid .obj files!) so that mod went on the scrap heap, anyway back to the point...

Its not much i know but still im proud.
Just a couple of new textures...

First up are some new more 3d looking rivets for around the hatches in the command rooms of the type 7s & 9s.
In previous texture mods ive seen, they always seem to be grey/metallic rivets, however all the films/photos i have show them painted to match the bulkhead.

Second is just a replacement texture for the uboat pens and harbour walls, just makes them look a bit more like concrete and gives the surfaces a little more interesting look, still the same crappy lo-res shadows though :(

Third, well ok these screens are not a mod, but were just me experimenting with sh3 stuff to see what i could come up with (they make reasonable background pics). The uboat texture used is FUBARs stunning U552 texture.

Great job mate,
let me be the first to say this,
keep going on the harbor wall textures and the
3D effect over the U-boats interiors...

It will be a cool add mate..

Brilliante start my friend...:rock: :up:

Nice add ons, particularly the interior U-Boat pen walls, little things like that help with the immersion factor, and even if you think it's not much, you have every right to be proud of your attempts to help other SH3 players with your work. Good on you!

If you have it in mind to do more interior mods, as well as books and photographs, I find the website (linked below) useful, as it has one of those 3D panoramas of most sections of a U-Boat. You might already know the site, but if you don't well worth bookmarking.

Keep up the great work Flakmonkey

I agree on the concrete as well, but would like to add that you're right about the rivets also; everything on a ship gets painted. Well, not the wooden parts...

Looks good!:rock:

im happy to see people like my lil mods,
as of yet theyre not available for download, as two textures doesnt really make a mod. I`ll wait til ive done a few more and can call it a texture pack before i try and get someone to host it :)
