Do you wish to be more attractive to the opposite sex? Are you seeking fame and fortune? If so, then look no further than this post!
But wait there is more, we will also throw in a set of ‘steak knifes’, yes it’s true. These steak knifes are worth less than the postage and handling that you will pay, but they are free!
Still interested? Then read on my dear reader!
Members of the original Silent Hunter III dev are offering up their free time to integrate your new 3D model into Silent Hunter III.
All models must be in a 3DS format with the maximum polygon count as listed below. There is to be one texture for each model and the texture is to be 1024x1024.
Battleships - 35,000 poly
Destroyers - 25,000 poly
Merchants
Small - 10,000 poly
Medium - 15,000 poly
Large - 20,000 poly
Planes - 3,500-4,000 poly
Merchant ships will get priority over more battleships and destroyers.
All submissions must be your own work. Do not use copyrighted work or models found on the internet. The developers will add the best models in the game and the mod-makers will be added to credits in the special thanks section.
Distribution of the community models will be made available via a patch as the new models will require ‘UnitType’ entires added into the various game files.
How to submit your model. E-mail your model file/s along with your name and/or nickname (important info so that YOU get credit for your model) to me at
TeddyBar@SimHQ.com. I will then forward your model to the Dev Team.
Note: The original SHIII Dev Team have been moved onto various other projects and are offering their assistance to the community as they can in their own free time. It was Ubisofts decision not to make available a SDK for SHIII, the Dev Team are only employees. However, it is only through the grace of Ubisoft that the SHIII Dev Team have been able to make such generous offers. So let’s not get into ‘yer but they said’ etc, it will not change anything.
Let’s take this excellent opportunity and see where it leads us to.
