Because there aren't any ropes?

The rope shadows need to be gone and one heck of a job also! The ropes are not part of the skin. Nesgeis has done great work here and I'm very impressed. I can not wait for the finished product and if Nesgeis feels froggy enough, perhaps he can do some other boats:D It is does look realistic to me down to the welds. Currently the stock skins show rivets on the boats. These boats were welded steel, sheet by sheet.

I was sailing last night in the new skin. She looks mean and nasty when surfacing:up:

Looking forward to a possible generic version. :up:

I would like to know if it's not to much trouble, how you're figuring out which parts of the skin are mapped onto the model and if there is an easy way of doing it?

Keep up the good work Nisgeis, it's very impressive. :up:

:arrgh!:

Well, it would look a bit silly out in the middle of the Pacific with shadows of mooring ropes that are attached to a non-existent pier. :hmm:

I jest. It just jumped into my mind when I saw the posts :D

Great work and keep at it!

is there a clean version in the works...

If you mean without nose art, then yes, I'll be doing a clean skin. It probably won't look like this skin though. I'll see what happens, but personally i think the bow on this particular skin is the soul of the boat.

I didn't like this particular shark mouth at first, but after a few hours it grew on me and now I think it looks great.

yeah i wish i had the torsk so i could get it and still have some realism, but alas....

I would guess Nisgeis would have it for download for all. I'm sure it would find it's way into games of others beside mine:up: A lot of the guys who work on the Torsk with me hate the mouth. It was not original in any theater she served. The city of Baltimore had it painted on to attrack more visitors. It does work so they put up with it. Personally I think it is cool and love it in the game.

I know you were jesting but I was perplexed myself when that question was asked. Perhaps the poster of the question did not have enough coffee in him yet.

Any news on making this skin available? It looks great!

Fantastic work Nisgeis, really looks great.

That looks amazing. Incredible work, especially from an "amateur" ;)
