[WIP] HMS Tally Ho
 

Hi all, I am currently working on my first mod, the HMS Tally Ho. She's only just gotten started, so this might take a while...

With blueprints

And without

Interesting first mod :yeah:
And certainly not an easy one
Wish you luck and look forward to seeing it ingame

Excellent :up:

Will this be a playable or an AI? What polycount is your target?

I will try to make it playable, that is my goal, and my maximum polycount is around 20,000 exterior, and will work from there.

More renders of mod slowly coming to life...

Good news!:up:
I hope you succeed!
I wish you every success for the benefit of all the real and virtual submariners!

It looks great! Interesting to see it come together.

Nice start Mate.
:yep:

Just try to keep some sections detached or you'll end up with alot of work when you go to import.

Polycount 5959

Really clean model mate, you have certainly a good eye for this :up:

What program are you using, is that 3DSMax?

Its Gmax, the free version. And thanks for the great feedback :salute:

Remember that you must change it to triangles to import with S3D.
So your count is going to double as all quads will split into 2 tris.

And in case you wonder?
I'm just some old Guy that spends WAY to much time messing with a silly Game.
The wife says that to me every day!
:har:

the polycounter already counts it in triangles, I found that out when checking, and I had the blueprints in. each plane took up 2 poly.

I am also reworking the hull so it is one piece, and better detailed

Progress so far

Very nice
Esp for a first mod
You have an eye for detail :yeah:

Thanks bigboywooly, that means a lot to me...

work on the 20mm Oerlikon Flak gun has been slow, but has yielded some results

and the total polys are up to 7780

This is looking really good. I've been trying to get started modelling, and have been trying to learn Wings3D, without much luck. Based on what you're doing I've downloaded GMax and taken a first look at it. It looks pretty cool.
