[REL] IXC Blue Hunter Skin

[Friction150]

Hey everyone, I've been away for awhile. Real life junk... Haha I started playing SH3 again a few days ago, and decided to use some newfound knowledge to make a skin.

The Blue Hunter is an IXC Type skin that is based off a paint scheme that was on the Hunt II destroyer in the stock game. I liked the design so much I put it on a uboat, and of course, I'm gonna share!

The only "issue" I ran into was that the colors from the hull ended up on the railings. After tinkering around with it and not finding a solution, I looked at some other skins by Fubar and Steed and some of them were the same way. I figured I'd leave it be then because it actually looks cool that way. Not bad for my first mod.

Let me know what you guys think.

Looks nice to me! :up:

But how about the conning tower? How would it look like if it also had the camo painting?

I was going to say the same as kaarlo. conning tower looks out of place. But a nice skin.:up:

[tonschk]

Well done , may be with a bit of rust spots can become even better and realistic :up:

[Wolfehunter]

Very cool camo pattern dude. Very nice look.:up:

Thanks for the advice everyone. I actually did have the conning tower painted with the design, but the more I looked at it, the more I felt it was overcooked. So that's why I just matched it to the base grey that I was using.

How exactly would I put more rust on the boat? Is it as simple as finding a picture of rust and blending it in?

Thanks Wolfehunter, that means alot coming from you. You have some great skins out there, a few of them are on my boats as we speak.:D

Lutzow- Thanks alot! Feel free to add that to your vault. That has been extremely valuable to the community here for lots of classic skins!

Wolfehunter- I feel the same way, every mod, no matter how big or small, adds to the depth of this game.
