Re: accurate XXIII U-Boat model request...

[flakmonkey]

Sorry to pimp my work here but a couple of weeks ago somebody from these forums emailed me and asked if id make them a good quality model of a type23 sub to use in projects outside of sh3.


Since then ive misplaced their email and dont recall their subsim username so cant get in touch.

So if you still need the model could please PM or email me and i`ll send you the file.

Thanks
-Fm.


ps heres some pics.

Fantastic work as usual Flak :up:

What would I need to do to convince you of creating a Narwhal model for SH4? :D

Something has intrigued me of your post:

projects outside of sh3

:hmm: :)

[Task Force]

Beautiful is all I can say...:D Great job flakmonkey (I also like your old one).;) Ever thought about puting this one in SH 4.

[flakmonkey]

Hitman: What would you have to do do convince me, hmmm, buy me a new pc so i can run sh4??? seriously though i cant mod anything for sh4 since i cant run it, so sorry no Narwhal from me antytime soon.

I have no idea just what project the person who requested this had in mind, but the "outside sh3" bit meant i didnt have to deal with poly limits etc, which is why the model ended up as 160000 triangles using 11 seperate textures files, it would need some serious work to convert it into a game-suitable model.


+Letum your PM box is full.

You can produce the 3D model and let others like Keltos or Mykhail convert it to SH4 :up:

[Task Force]

Flackmonkey. you have made a beautiful model.:D Too bad you dont have SH4, that game needs some of your models.;) I want more subs than the ones they have now.:D my system could handel it.

[coronas]

Nice work & nice pictures! I love underwater scene :up:

:sunny: Absolutely great work, the pictures are perfect.:sunny:

I wished myself such textures at your model.

The model is to 99% finished it is missing only that, your textures and something fine MADE IN FLAKMONKEY section - .

The SH3 of models has Stidler and Dietrich and I you with the SH4 also saw.
--------- Your XXIII -------------
:up:

[Anvart]

Flakmonkey!
:up:
Excellent job!
...
Hipoly convert to Lowpoly ... and with "Melody" or "GPU MeshMapper" to make Normal, Displacement and Ambient Occlusion maps for Lowpoly ...

[Dietrich]

Just a note from our earlier work on the XXIII, where we converted your original SH3 model into a human-playable version... The "training stripe" should be yellow, not white. This is a product of black-and-white photographs being misinterpreted.

According to a contemporary source on U-2329 "Das Boot trägt die gelben Erkennungsstreifen am Turm ..." We followed this up and could only find mention of yellow stripes, never white. I don't have any colour photographs of a Typ-XXIII, but I do have some of other U-boat types, if you want me to dig them out.

Anyway, it should look something like this...

... however, that said, your new model's quality is muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better!!! :yep:

Stunning work, Flakmonkey! :sunny:

Oops, i had a feeling that stripe was wrong, i used a beautifully painted 1:72 scale model for texture reference http://hsfeatures.com/features04/uboattypexxiiicw_1.htm since all the shots of the real thing i could find were small and grainy.

+ while im here, 1 last piccy...

... and FPS ↓ ...
In SH3 (NSS_UBoat9d2) hull + turm ~ 40000 poly's ...
... and for example look http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=951016#post951016 #344 ... 93131 poly's ...
...
I want Flakmonkey's model ...

[flakmonkey]

Since the person who originaly contacted me to request this still hasn`t shown up i may as well give it away, so anyone who wants it...
http://www.savefile.com/files/1797694

The file is in .mb (maya) format, i did convert it to obj but found this was causing geometry errors on the conning tower so scrapped it.

+I should make it clear that this is NOT a mod, its just the 3d model and textures.

[Anvart]

Thanks!
Downloaded.
...
But, very slow download speed ...

[Task Force]

I wish I had the program you are useingso i could look at it.:D

[Anvart]

After converting to OBJ we see some model errors (lost faces and wrong faces):

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/1622/xxiiierrorsbd1.jpg

This model has ~ 74700 poly's (not tri's) ... with 2 torp's ... :D

[flakmonkey]

Yup, those are the poly errors i was talking about, i hate .obj files :nope:

The model is ~160000 polys when triangulated, at present its in quads + a few n-sided polys, i tend to give the count in triangles since the model would have to be triangulated to use in game.

[Tomi_099]

Good Yob Boys !!!

160.000 : 2500 Polys ( 64 Folder ) :up:

[Anvart]

... i hate .obj files :nope:
Obj ... good-simple format :up:
Holes can be repaired ...

The model is ~160000 polys when triangulated, at present its in quads + a few n-sided polys, i tend to give the count in triangles since the model would have to be triangulated to use in game.
Yes, of course ...

.............

Have you new results???:hmm:

[Anvart]

What? :hmm:
Now i reinstall my OS and all my prog's ... :rotfl:

[bigboywooly]

Yes
Crack on Anvart

:rotfl:

[Anvart]

:rotfl:
No crack ...
It is my usual planned operation, which I do once a year to raise speed OS, since at me it is installed more than 100 various programs ...

[Madox58]

I also try to re-install once a year.
:yep:

I was a bit slow this time and crashed my main system.
:nope:

It's taken nearly a week so far to recover data and re-install.

Still not quite done.

[Anvart]

Yes, to install and adjust prog's it's week and more ...

[ErdiFerenc]
