[rel] U-001

[lutzow]

Today is a holiday:p
New comissioned sub U-001 was launched by Lutzow Uboatsztuffabrik
- here, in Danzig.
Kaleun's - i'm proudly presenting U-001 - a skin for u-boat type VIIC [only].

This is my first pass, my first skin.

I know - this is non-realistic and non-historical camo. Looks too green and crazy.
However - i love this skin. It contains months of hard work - each nail/rivit,
waterhole on upper hull section was placed manually by me.
I'm crazy as this skin.
Template for this work was taken from Fubar's treasures - skin VIIC plain and other.
I'm using and learning Photoshop CS2 and Saint Paint 12.2.
I want to thank Yamato9 and Wolfehunter for their help, constructive critic and feedback.
I want to thank Fubar for granting permission to me for using all His work during making skins.
I want to thank all skinners on this forum, for their impressive work.
Regards.

[STEED]

So your off to Kursk are you? :lol:

Emblem goes well with the camo, well done on your first one. :up: :up:

Looks great Lutzow! :up: When Steed put the cross on there, it really reminded me of a paint scheme they put on stukas to camoflage them while they were on the ground.

[Sailor Steve]

Ooh, green, grey, green, black and green. My favorite colors!:rock:

Maybe not historical...but it could have been. And should have.

[Reece]

Now that is just WOW!:eek: Snot green, different, I gotta have it!!:yep:

[Wolfehunter]

[SquareSteelBar]

geee why dont you just make it pink with red dots you circus freak I was annoyed by this post, too. So yesterday I did a sample of his posts of the last years to get an impression of his attitude of mind. It's very informative...

SquareSteelBar

[Reece]

Yes I thought it was rather rude, figured it might have been a poor tasting joke of some kind, however I'm not laughing!:-?

[Von Manteuffel]

Hey, Lutzow, many many congrats!

I have to say straight of that it's not to my taste, but that doesn't prevent me from admiring and giving huge credit for the massive amount of work you've obviously put into it. And it's your first skin! I can hardly believe that. Well done!

Please don't be upset by negative posts:

a) the moderators can, do and will pounce

b) as you can see from the responses, the vast majority of people here appreciate other people's efforts and manage to rise above the purely subjective.

Keep up the good work. :up:

[lutzow]

...SquareSteelBar, Reece and Von Manteuffel...
Thank You for Your support ;)
I hope that Kpt Klinkerhof doesn't shot me again;)

Now i'm coming back to work on my mods:up:

[Sub146]

I like this downloading , thanks for taking the time to post it for us to use. :arrgh!:

I hope that Kpt Klinkerhof doesn't shot me again;)
Not from the Brig he won't!!:rotfl:

Someone already cut off some posts there - sad, because that was
my friend Wolfehunter's defence;)

No prob mate...good manners/respect cost nothing :yep:

[Ivan Putski]

Lutzow, great first skin, thank you going to D/L now.:up:

[lutzow]

Thanks Ivan;)

[Adriatico]

It would be interesting if You can:
- take the compleate *tga to photoshop, decrease green 70% and add some 15% of bue
...just as release of alternative grey-blue version :hmm:

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Nice work Lutzow! :up: :up: :up:

[danlisa]

Nice work Lutzow! :up: :up: :up:

Seconded!

While the colours may not be to my liking, I know good graphics when I see them.

Can anyone see the texture joins on the hull or conning tower? NO? That's because Lutzow has hidden them brilliantly.

3 thumbs!

:up::up::up:I agree with dan on this. I'm jealous...:p

[lutzow]

Adriatico - yes, i can, but this have no sense and i have no time
for correcting.;)
And as i say - i love this skin as she is.
I will make next skin and this time she will be more realistic - i promise;)


Kpt Lehmann - thank You, Sir :p:up:

Danlisa - thank You. Joining textures is a hard work. Starting game,
making screenshot of texture where they join and exiting the game for
replacing pixels up or down;). You know this well. All for effect :up:
Why You stopped making skins ?

Wolfehunter - You have no reason to be jealous because i'm learning from Your work.
You are my master, bro:up:

[Adriatico]

Just to explain... there is nothing to correct - as there is nothing wrong:up:
Only various options to your skin funs...

(If you offer banana ice-cream. you can offer mango one as well... and it is not "corrected banana"... ;))

[asanovic7]

I hate filefront :rotfl:
What about beyond the shadow forums?

Cheers!

[lutzow]

Yes - Filefront is a BLACK HOLE. Or Bermuda Triangle.
There is a strange and alien physic.
Sometimes people who are going there - not coming back.

Filefront:down:

Beyond The Shadows:up: (- temporary under reworking and reorganization)
You must ask Koondawg and SWCowboy for details.

I'm also waiting for entering my vault and add new trasures for DL.;)

[yamato9]

I also hate FileFront! Why, because i can´t download a s**t from this site!:stare:

http://www.bts-mods.com/?page=files

Download section of Bts working fine.:yep:
Only is that this section is not completely finished (makeup, etc), but with DL you should not have any troubles.

[lutzow]

I loved that old looking BTS. There was possible to place big pictures
presenting skins. What was wrong? Why they are changing this - i don't know.

And there - in this new look of BTS - i can't find all skins which i'm
uploaded for subsimers. There is just about a half of my hard work:-?
There was all skins of Wildchild, Graf and Fubar...

[nikbear]

Im afraid Im with you on this Lutzow,the previous format for the BtS site was much better,I downloaded all your vault to my hard drive,and when it lunched itself I went back to try again,most of your vault was missing:doh:I know its a work in progress,but things don't seem to be progressing well,hardly any 'child' boards to download from and it seems at times vey confused:nope:
