[REL] Wolfehunters U-boat IXC Standard
 
I was doing a clean start to the uboat textures when slowly but surely this Uboat developed. Now its not historical accurate but it looks nice. So I'm giving it to you for those who want something new and different.

Its new and hardly any rust on it. Her details are high quality. I redid every allmost every pixel with something new.
I give two versions. 1024 rez standard and 2048 super rez for those whos system can handle it.

Heres the link to download;

This is an addon for IXC standard. You need the standard for this one to work.

Heres some eye popin shots,

Eye be watching you:smug: I don't know if any real subs had it but I thought it to be cool idea. Looks nice.

Tell me what you think.:up:

I think it looks stunning,love the camo,very inspired and the new textures are really very high quality work:rock: I'm a bit :doh: about the eye on the bow,very greek galley;) but I'm undecided if I like it or not:oops: Still going to download this cracking skin though:up: a beauty of a skin to add to the collection:yep:

Wolfehunter 10-03-07 03:27 PM

If popular vote say out with the eye. Then I will remove it. Or make a similar version. I thought it to be cool, like the boat is alive for the hunt. hehehe. :D

nikbear 10-03-07 03:41 PM

Oh it is cool WH,I'm just being fussy,but a version without would allow the masses to choose,I'm all for choice me:up:

Thanks.

Water lush???:hmm: I used Photoshop to clear it up abit. Orginal photo was too murky. The water doesn't look like that ingame.;)

I like it, something different. My wife will love it. I got her started a month ago and she's currently got a Operation Petticoat paint job that she loves. Not realistic I know but it got her playing and she's having a blast.

I prefer "without".

But, on second thought, have you tried the eye at different sizes? I'm thinking larger.

lutzow 10-03-07 11:20 PM

I prefer with:p - an eye is a proof that crew and skinmaker has fantasy :up: Bravo Wolfie!:up:
Checked my vault for eyed skins - this is first [maded by Isitol]:

Damb lutzow thats good paint job. :huh:

Kodaita ya my wife loves the sunset and sunrise of the game.

I appreciate the feedback guys.:up:

Historically this Uboat isn't accurate. But who knows what uboats really had painted on there skins. Most Uboats aren't photographed or the data was lost. All a Uboat needed was a talented crew member who could paint. ;)

More famous Uboats well that another story and I'm all for being authentic.:yep:

Anyhow I did 5 authentic Uboats one fun boat for those who want change.:cool:

Now down to business. Ok I found a small texture glitch when you upgraded the conning tower IX/3. Nothing special a small error. Orignally I didn't know what file IX/3 used untill I had fun with this skin for awhile using it in my game. IX/2 is flawless as you see above.
Now heres some pics of IX/3 for your amusement.

Nice conning details on the radar. I tryed to give is some real metal texture.
http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...atIXCshot8.jpg
Its funny how things tend to work out. I was originally worried when I upgraded to IX/3 that [a] my texture wouldn't look great or [b] default Turm9c_2 would takeover. But I was wrong:up:
http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...atIXCshot7.jpg
This one shows the error that I fixed.
http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...oatIXshot6.jpg
Here you can see how nice and shock I was to find that the IX/3 works well with Turm9c files.

Well that it for now. Most likely going back to tweek my older work. I learnt alot since then. I can fix alot of small details using my newest templates.

Good hunting! :p

What you think about? Is this an existing skin? Or maybe new project?
Of course - without the flag on bow.

Water boy 10-04-07 03:19 PM

Interesting but what happened to the original release? Or was there one?:hmm:
So I'm guessing below the water line its black as well as the saddle. I don't see any weathering. Light grey for the main colour with a darker grey for the camo right? Anyhow you tell me how you want it done and I'll do my best to mimic it. Now the only thing is I don't want to step on someones toes. So whoever did this I think [a] I need there permission and [b] If possible I could get a copy of the files to beef it up with higher quality. :|\\ I work in 4096 rez. Theres alot of pixels in that:rotfl:
