Crazy Request: SH3 model of Type VIIC
 

No, not a plastic model, just a converted ingame model from the ingame format to anything else, .OBJ .3DS .C4D (prefer it .C4D but I'll take what I can get)

Long story short. I'm working on something...something that might be useful to GWX...a new intro movie perhaps? Fully Rendered and all that jazz, but if so...I'll need more models...but I'll be happy with the VIIC for now. Anyone care to help out?

Edit: Now that I have the model...Time for the people to speak! More specifically, the GWX people. Do you want a fully CG intro? Like the SH3 intro, only more...GWX...ish...

If you do, say so! :D

Oh, WOW!

I would love to see a fully rendered movie from Cinema 4D for GWX.

Please, someone with more knowledge of Max, Maya etc please help this man.

Try FlakMonkey.;)

All in .obj format

:hmm: Well, this could get interesting. Sounds pretty cool.

Danke herr Kaluen!

That'll work excellently :D

However it'll take a bit of time getting all the parts back to where they belong...shouldn't take too long though. I'll get started when I get home.

Alrighty, so I got the model set up, looking good. So I did a test render to see how it looks, added some fog and some low light...

Yes it's hard to see, but I'll get a few more renders that show off the specular and bump mapping that's gone into it.

Looking good. Has that got any textures applied to it?

Yep, but it's a bit on the dark side to see any of them...hang on...uploading some pics.

...and I just noticed that the grey on the bottom of the image matches the forums grey!

...Cool!

The Following is using the stock 7C model from SH3, with stock textures but with specular highlights and bump mapping applied to them. Nothing else.

Except the conning tower image...that's Googles work.

Alrighty, now that I got that out of the way. I think an intro is very much possible. However seeing as how GWX is getting close to being done...it might be a seperate download...or people might not want it...*shrugs*

Tis up to the people!

OMG that is lovely! Its like looking at a real solid object!

:cool: I would leave the conning tower emblem out though.;)

BTW, what size are the texture files for the skin? I have the original high rez versions available, might render better. IIRC 2048x2048

Danlisa: no clue how big the images are, and 2048x2048 images would be awesome :D

Pass them along when you get the chance, I'll be working on stuff over the weekend, and seeing as how the model files are under 5 megs, I can probably download any more I need from home. (I'm thinking a freighter and a British DD...not sure which yet...)

But since people so far are falling for it. I think I'll have some work cut out for me...:|\\

Oh, and one more thing. Anyone know where the deck gun and AA gun models are?

That looks superb! And yes, someone would want it - me for a start! :rock: Brilliant work, well done!

Holy smokes, that looks nice :o

My hat off to you all :up:

Looking good kaleun fair weather :rock: :up:

LOL, you better get busy.:) This is shaping up.:up:

Here you go, 2048 Texture files, just drop them in with the obj files.

Alright, I think it's go time :D

Basically, what I had in mind:

--Opening shot---

1943, Somewhere in the Atlantic. Camera sweeps over the water. All is calm.

Cut to a shot of a periscope coming out of the water. Cut to a clip from Das Boot with the skipper looking through the periscope.

Shot of the pov of the periscope. It swings around until it spots something on the horizon.

Shot of a C2 freighter as it chugs merrily along, blissfully unaware of it's impending doom.

Cut to the crew preparing for a shot, Das boot again. Shot of the torpedo doors opening. they fire off a torpedo (LOS!) Shot of the torp tearing out of the tube.

Shot of the skipper holding a stop watch. Shot of the torp screaming towards the C2. Shot of the C2, nothing all is quiet...then...BOOM! Geyser of water, BOOM boilers go up, smoke everywhere.

Shot of the periscopes POV, as the C2 goes down.

Cut to a shot underwater as the C2 goes plowing to the bottom of the ocean. Flash up the title SH3: GWX

---Possible alternate/extended version in this version the title doesn't come up yet.---

Cut to the periscopes POV. It does another sweep and spots something coming at them...fast...

Shot of a DD bearing straight for the Uboat.

ALARM!!! Crew rush through the boat to the front. Shot of the props spinning faster and faster, as they dive.

The DD barrels over them and unleashes it's Depthcharges. Cut of the crew looking up around, quiet as death (Das boot...again...)

Shot of the Uboat with DCs dropping around them. One enters the top of the frame and looks like it'll land right on top of it...

Black out.

Title comes up.

End.

One more image before I head off from for home and then I go into full production mode.

People are probably thinking...Can I make good enough water?

Think that'll be good enough quality for the intro?

I'll answer what everyone is thinking...no that's not good enough water.

Cause A: I can do way better and B: that was on the crappy work computer.

I'm working on the first scene right now, just the camera sweep. Should be done rendering in a couple hours, then just keep working at it :)
