[REQ] skin for german uboat (1.5)

thyro · 03-09-08, 03:56 AM

I dont know about you... but my 1.5 stock uboat seem that come out from scrapyard ... most black/grey with few white/light-grey panels... in one simple word... ugly!

I look forward for a new paint to my uboat... is there one "flying" around? Cheers

I totally agree lol
I believe we'll have to wait for foobor's new skin

That's probably the coating texture he's complaining about.

Yeah! You are right!

I've just started a new campain to see if was a coating texture... and yes it is...

Without coating the sub looks better ... with coating it turns ugly mex

Ugly and stealthy is better than pretty and pounded to death with depth charges

The U-boat skins, as opposed to the American ones, actually look really good and refined. The latter look like rust buckets that have been mothballed for the past 20 years.

Don't know for coating, i've just started a campaign with uboat so no coating so far...

I'm trying myself at skinning the IXd2, but i like texture to be weathered to some extent. While it could be considered less realistic, it makes up for more eye candy.

I must be one of the few people who prefers his boat to have that "weathered veteran" look.

jimbob · 03-10-08, 07:25 PM

Had to give it a go and I'd say it aint easy:

You bet! me too

i'm totally with you 100% lol
I hate when it's almost plain gray. It doesn't put hires textures to stand in the crowd. You need lots of little details to "better mimic" mother nature

Yea im the same i like the weathered look, i seen a photo of a IXC Uboat taken in 1945 surrendering to US and it looked like a total rust bucket -rusty orange & black, it was not at all flash looking. But somehow it still remained sexy

I think real U boat remained "new and polished" for a very short time...with salt water and DC...

rust everywhere
