[REL] Wolfehunters U-boat IXC Standard

[Wolfehunter]

I was doing a clean start to the uboat textures when slowly but surely this Uboat developed. Now its not historical accurate but it looks nice. So I'm giving it to you for those who want something new and different.

Its new and hardly any rust on it. Her details are high quality. I redid every allmost every pixel with something new.
I give two versions. 1024 rez standard and 2048 super rez for those whos system can handle it.

Heres the link to download;

This is an addon for IXC standard. You need the standard for this one to work.

Heres some eye popin shots,

Eye be watching you:smug: I don't know if any real subs had it but I thought it to be cool idea. Looks nice.

Tell me what you think.:up:

[nikbear]

I think it looks stunning,love the camo,very inspired and the new textures are really very high quality work:rock: I'm a bit :doh: about the eye on the bow,very greek galley;) but I'm undecided if I like it or not:oops: Still going to download this cracking skin though:up: a beauty of a skin to add to the collection:yep:

[Wolfehunter]

If popular vote say out with the eye. Then I will remove it. Or make a similar version. I thought it to be cool, like the boat is alive for the hunt. hehehe. :D

[nikbear]

Oh it is cool WH,I'm just being fussy,but a version without would allow the masses to choose,I'm all for choice me:up:

[Penelope_Grey]

The sub is good, real good, but the water looks lush!

[Wolfehunter]

Thanks.

Water lush???:hmm: I used Photoshop to clear it up abit. Orginal photo was too murky. The water doesn't look like that ingame.;)

[Kodaita]

I like it, something different. My wife will love it. I got her started a month ago and she's currently got a Operation Petticoat paint job that she loves. Not realistic I know but it got her playing and she's having a blast.

[d@rk51d3]

I prefer "without".

But, on second thought, have you tried the eye at different sizes? I'm thinking larger.

[lutzow]

I prefer with:p - an eye is a proof that crew and skinmaker has fantasy :up: Bravo Wolfie!:up:
Checked my vault for eyed skins - this is first [maded by Isitol]:

Damb lutzow thats good paint job. :huh:

Kodaita ya my wife loves the sunset and sunrise of the game.

I appreciate the feedback guys.:up:

Historically this Uboat isn't accurate. But who knows what uboats really had painted on there skins. Most Uboats aren't photographed or the data was lost. All a Uboat needed was a talented crew member who could paint. ;)

More famous Uboats well that another story and I'm all for being authentic.:yep:

Anyhow I did 5 authentic Uboats one fun boat for those who want change.:cool:

Now down to business. Ok I found a small texture glitch when you upgraded the conning tower IX/3. Nothing special a small error. Orignally I didn't know what file IX/3 used untill I had fun with this skin for awhile using it in my game. IX/2 is flawless as you see above.
Now heres some pics of IX/3 for your amusement.

Nice conning details on the radar. I tryed to give is some real metal texture.
http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff110/WolfeXhunter/UboatIXCshot8.jpg
Its funny how things tend to work out. I was originally worried when I upgraded to IX/3 that [a] my texture wouldn't look great or [b] default Turm9c_2 would takeover. But I was wrong:up:
http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff110/WolfeXhunter/UboatIXCshot7.jpg
This one shows the error that I fixed.

Here you can see how nice and shock I was to find that the IX/3 works well with Turm9c files.

Well that it for now. Most likely going back to tweek my older work. I learnt alot since then. I can fix alot of small details using my newest templates.

Good hunting! :p

Interesting skins, new trend in modding skins perhaps?:lol:

Wolfehunter - look at this logo which i found below GoldenEagle8 post:
http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/GoldenEagle8/SubsimSig.jpg
What you think about? Is this an existing skin? Or maybe new project?
Of course - without the flag on bow.

[Water boy]

I'm with darkside on this one, with but - BIGGER :up:

Interesting but what happened to the original release? Or was there one?:hmm:
So I'm guessing below the water line its black as well as the saddle. I don't see any weathering. Light grey for the main colour with a darker grey for the camo right? Anyhow you tell me how you want it done and I'll do my best to mimic it. Now the only thing is I don't want to step on someones toes. So whoever did this I think [a] I need there permission and [b] If possible I could get a copy of the files to beef it up with higher quality. :|\\ I work in 4096 rez. Theres alot of pixels in that:rotfl:

[lutzow]

Ok - you got the right - u-boat on this avatar looks like someone made
this skin for yourself already:-?. So best way is to leave this...

New project: Do you saw new intro movie?;)
The one maded by MackTheGovnah "The Battle of The Atlantic" ?

Yup. He's got talent. I had goosebumps watching the film. Nice colour reconstruction done. Rare videos regardless. :up:

I'm doing two projects right now... well three once U-2511 is finished. Main project is retexturizing all the older subskins I made. Theres is some tiny errors that have to be redone and some higher level details I'm introducing into the skin. I will leave the originals on FF for those who don't like change.;)

Second is I'm learning how to Redo the UV mapping on the models faces. I hate the way Ubisoft set there mapping on the conning towers. Its difficult to put nice textures when face sections don't match properly. I'm hoping to make a better map so Skinners can make nicer even textures. This will ofcourse cause major changes and many textures have to be redone should I finish this project.:damn:

Plus I like my new banner I finished few days ago. My oldone didn't have any bite. :smug:

[lutzow]

Your avatar is super. I like that.
I asked you about new intro movie because there you can find
new project - watch this part at beginning, when u-boats are
moving from harbours - one of them has interesting scheme on
his turm.

Can you create an identical skin but without the eye ? I know I'm being fussy but ..

[Wolfehunter]

Yes I was going to release one without the eye and one with a larger eye for the few who ask it. :yep:

I'm all for mass choices. I just wanted to read people views were. ;)

For those who want the larger EYE how big do you think it should be? Twice the size, more? :o

[Jimbuna]

How about just placing an eye patch over it ? :hmm:

[Wolfehunter]

Ok heres the link for the download without the EVIL EYE.:arrgh!: :dead:
Check first page for the download link with no eye!

Your going to have to replace the original NSSUboat9c.tga with this newer one in your MODS folder from JSGME.

Follow the readme and you shouldn't have a problem.:smug:

Thanks for you ideas and views on the mod. I appreciate it.

Goodhunting to you all.

Langes John Silber....?:hmm: Hmmmm. TOO much diesel fumes I guess:|\\ :rotfl:

[The Munster]

Diesel fumes combined with Bernards potato wine :rotfl:
D/Loading now. Thank you Wolfehunter :up:
