Futuristic carrier model .dae format

[iowa101]

i have got a decent looking carrier model, looks a little futuristic but i think it's great.

it's done in google sketchup.

i have downloaded a collada file so it has a dae file, if someone can convert it and put weapons and stuff on it that would be great.'

i'll post a few screens of it for you.

You asked me if I can send you all of my carriers. Ironicly this is one of them, only in .obj. Also it is from that ship I made the textures for the Montana and South Dakota.

Anyway here`s the link for the 3d models:

also how do you convert obj to sh4 compatible format and what format does it have to be

.obj/Wavefront files are SH4 compatible. As far as I know it`s the only 3d format S3D supports.

[iowa101]

how do i open them in s3d??

You don`t open the 3d models with S3D. Open NCV_USEarlyWar.dat with S3D. Open the node NCV_USEarlyWar and you will find a 3d model. Replace it with one of your carriers. This is how you get a 3d model in S3D.

ahhhh.

[Marka Ragnos]

so there is a possibility we will get to see a modern aircraft carrier ingame?

[iowa101]

most likely im currently trying to get a nimitz in but the model is to highly detail i need someone to sort that out for me i'll post a screen

[iowa101]

this model cost 185 pound but i can use it however i want, im not aloud to sell it so it has to stay here on this site strictly.

[iowa101]

i need someone who can get this in game, bare in mind that it's got a high poly count and alot of detail.

i spent alot and it would be a waste not to use such a great model.

all credit will go to the create and i will also like someone to put weapons and torpedoe tubes onto it, the model is also very big so it will need scaling down and it's polycount lowered.

also it has to have decent radar and a decent amount of weapons on her, please help me with this and i will continue to get us great models from my end to help put in game. all credit will go to those who help with this and if no one wants to then please tell me how to do what i asked.

how do i solve or lower this amount if its to big

[shamuboy1]

Im guessing it has to be the exact same amount as what it says.

@ Iowa : I don't think you'll see such a neat looking ship in game any time soon in any game. A good looking battleship in SH4 has no more than 25000 vertices. Yours got something like 283 times more vertices. If you ever want to reduce the vertex/polygon count to make it SH4-compatible, let's say you've got to be a 3D wizard. I mean, a REAL one. :o

Erm, in fact it would take less time to build it from scratch. :-?

[iowa101]

check the nimitz post guys, just to let you know we have a few ppl working on it atm, so we'll see what happens.

also anyone who has a decent site for modern naval ship plans would help, a few people including myself want to see more modern ships in game

thanks, i have come acoss this before but it only give a side view, and using just that makes it difficult to model it in 3d.

but thanks anyway mate it's appreciated

Any more work done on this masterpiece? (lol)
I'm very excited and I am waiting for a release of a modern carrier regardless if it has weapons or not.
