VIIC Skin: "Das Animal" + (WIP)Norwgian fishing cutter (Dial-up warning! Pic heavy!)

_Seth_ · 11-21-06, 05:55 PM

I've just finished "Das Animal". I think those brits and yankees would be scared to death if they encountered this beast in the open seas...

I've also included pics of my ongoing work on divinducks "cutter", trying to make it more Norwegian...

Well, here it is:

And some more seaweed:

The fishing cutter skin:

The cutter skin is Work In Progress. I posted this over at Dowlys, because the Registration number appears on both sides on the hull (inside and outside, mirrored inside), and also mirrored on the opposite side. My mate Dowly told me that since there were ony one side of the hull in the texture folder, i had to investegate the .dat file connected to this. Is sounds like a good advice, but where can i find this .dat, and do i have to create a new "hull" to go with the opposite site?

Not sure about the blue section on the U-Boat but it is nice in a strange way.

Nice work there Seth, the cutter looks real good. Maybe you should let safe-keeper know about it as it would be good for his Norway Ops mod he's working on. It could become part of the Shetland express (the fleet of trawlers who supplied the resistance in Norway).

"Das Animal" is a laugh:rotfl:Just missing the leapod skin uniform for the crew!:hmm:

Nice to have you back!

_Seth_ · 11-21-06, 06:33 PM

Yeah, its not my best skin, i know..

:rotfl:But its surreal in some way, yeah... Im thinking of just using the green seaweed thing on future repaints, and i'll think i skip the zebra/camo-stuff. Thanx steed and bookworm, i'll pm safe-keeper, to see if he could be interested.

I like the camo scheme on the conning tower

I sure as Heck am

(in the fishing boat, that is). Could you perhaps release it only to me as part of NorOps? I'd be eternally grateful.

As for the sea-weed, that's a very good touch, actually. It always astounded me how every single ship and sub in every game is somehow 100% free of algae and other growth below the water-line. Fair enough for a few ships that could technically be right out of shipyard or dry-dock, but not every single one. They should be green on the underside, not red or grey.

No problems, safe-keeper, its your exclusively. It wont be released to anyone else, trust me! (sorry guys, just wait for norops!!) I think i have to contact danlisa, my skinning-mentor, and see if he has some advice in solving the mirroring-case. And i'll also look into the algea and seaweed things, mate! I'll PM you when i have some more progress. Ok?

Remember: The model of this cutter is made by divindduck; all im doing is repainting it. @ divin: Excellent model, mate!

I love the fishing boat, but the VII .......... *Stabiz calls his nearest drug store*

You are too kind. Thanks a whole deal

But seriously, I see Danlisa is teaching you well. I have absolutely no clue how you do that.

Trust me, my friend from Vestlandet... If i can do this, you can do this too. I was a n00b to paintshop / photoshop, but danlisas manual is really easy to understand. Basically, its all about layers (and cool photos you find on the net, that you can use to "paint") Just try it, i bet you can do it!

Oooooohhh! that's hard on the eyes!

Not a bad skin job. I like the green slime on the decking. Not sure how much would grow on a real submarine moving at a rate of knots though.

Moin,

@_Seth_

nice skin for the hull. But you will not succeed without changing the UVW Map Settings. Since I´m planning to rework the cutter, after I´ve finished my actual project, I could include separate UVW texture cooardinates and textures for the left/right/inner side of the hull. That would allow you to attach a registration easily.

Regards,
DD

Seth, you can keep the VII skin, but when can we download the fishing boat? Looks great
