Realistic Torpedo Textures for TWOS

[U-190]

[Demon777]

thanks for the new version! :up:

Hey mate, have you tried playing with texture's specular map (stored in the alpha mask) for making their surface more metal-like? As far as I can see from your preview, right now they look like they were covered on an heavy coat of dull paint.

Else, what about the classic black/bronze paint scheme?
I didn't investigate its historical authenticity, but for sure it is damn smart combination of colors :D

[gap]

Torpedoes were always covered with a thick layer of solid oil to protect them from seawater. The shiny torpedoes can only be seen in the museum.

But isn't grease shining under the light, and where are those grease stains on your texture anyway?

Summing up, my suggestions are: making the texture (alpha mask) shinier and adding dark spots/streaks of grease to it :salute:

[gap]

Do not confuse the game with real life. Try to create your own version of the modification of the torpedoes. Everything is in your hands, dear friend!

P.S. In addition, the shiny textures of the torpedo will have an unpleasant light glare.

Never mind, I see we have different definitions of what is "realistic" and what is "positive criticism". I don't want to sound immodest, but believe me I am an expert texturer. Achieving the effect that I was suggesting would take to me lesser than trying to explaining it to you, and having to answer your bitter reply on top of that.

Why don't I create those textures by myself then? Believe it or not, the reason is that I am happier when I help buddies to create their own mods than when I can write my name on a mod of mine. If you took my comment below for a request, you are off track my friend.

Gap off, once and for all :salute:

I agree with Gap and I think he is referring to something similar to this. Files are in dat format and they work in SH5, except there is no underwater view from when you look at torpedo from above the water line. If you want to convert it to SH5 format I can upload files.
Anyway thanks for sharing your work with us.:Kaleun_Cheers:

Excellent work! Thanks for the mod!

Here are the files: https://mega.nz/file/XTwESZqT#I83xG68oAqIC17_kfZ0Y2ZjwSkF3q09Rl93fgFyZl 0g


They are from an old mod called U-BOAT_HAHD for SH3. His author Hans Witteman gave us permission to import his work in SH5. I hope it will inspire you somehow.


Cheers.

Not to go off topic, what is the preferred modding software for color, texturing, etc? I'm competent with GIMP and Blender. Will they handle the file extensions in Silent Hunter?

[Demon777]

Hi U-190,

I guess we will have a new version of torp testures for TWOS? :salute:

Excellent!! Will download ASAP!

[Demon777]

thanks bro!)
New version of textures is different from the previous one, but as I see from the open sources this new look is even closer to historical G7a and G7e images :cool:

[U-190]

Updating download link to first post. :subsim:

[Demon777]

in v.2 you decided to change the color of G7e back to green :)

I was trying to find historical data regarding G7e color scheme, but it seems there are 2 options for it:
- the same gun metal color with bronze warhead as G7a has,
- green paint scheme like already implemented in your v.2...

Maybe some experts here on Subsim have any info regarding the historical colors of German G7a and G7e??

[U-190]

Updating to v3.0

спасибо, тезка!
там вроде еще небольшая разница (между G7a и G7e) в оперении стабилизаторов, но для SH5 принципиален цвет :yep:

Насчет текстур не парься, в последней версии все супер! да и предыдущие лично мне нравятся.
в интерьере даже заценил шероховатости на боеголовках. это круто. Все стоковые текстуры сделаны по аналогии с G7a, разработчики не захотели заморачиваться.

I did not set myself the task of observing historical accuracy in the pictures. I make this Pin-Up for myself and my friends. What is the problem?

Could I get an English translation of those Russian posts? I would really like to know what lead to somebody making a NSFW SH5 background :haha::har:

NSFW background is no more, amigo. The menu will show a video clip from Das Boot.
