I have the same problems with the buoys too, they are almost white, no matter how dark I make the texture.. the occlusion, bump and uv map need serious fixing but they are missing or need to be redone. |
Don't be too dissapointed with the new ships! You know they don't look that bad, I think it's more that they stand out from SH 5 ships. And it's pretty much because of the SH 5 shadows that don't work with these ships. All the SH 4 textures are working, we aren't missing anything. And I wasn't that bothered that the ships didn't show underwater like others.
Also I think it's possible to have several skins for one ship. So that in convoy there are different variations of the same ship model. For example the Kasagisan ship comes with two textures in SH 4.
Almost all SH 5 ships are dark grey colored, so these white ships are easy to spot. Maybe just make them more gray?
When I have time, I could take a look at the Kasagisan ship, it has become quite dear to me!
I'll add the crew, fix the guns and try to get second ship texture to it.
