[REL] Regia Marina - Condottieri I (Di Giussano) class light cruisers - 2021 edition

[VonDos]

Hi everyone!

I'm glad to release this revised, reworked, repainted and again improved mod: Condottieri I (Di Giussano) class italian light cruisers (Di Giussano, Da Barbiano, Bande Nere and Colleoni), including their scout planes IMAM RO43!

This is the fourth of a serie of revised units for Regia Marina, a major work who started after i've start a collaboration with flush deck, in order to "homogenise" various italian warships i've released during a lot of years, and assure a standard quality level for all of them.

Pack include a multiskin unit with livery for Alberico Da Barbiano, Bartolomeo Colleoni, Giovanni dalle Bande Nere and Alberto Di Giussano, all four Condottieri I class cruisers.

As you can see, i've tryed to improve units, adding 3D details like doors, portholes, cables, rails, stairs, liferats, fixing small design flaws, taking care of "historically accurate" side, etc.
The goal is have a standard level for all my Regia Marina units released until now, and eventually for future releases

Hi, please can you explain where are the detailed shadows, SH3 dont show dynamic shadows even if once was a to some extent unsuccesful attempt to enable those shadows, thank you

Hi!
Sure, shadows in this (and others recent models i released) aren't dynamic. They're "impressed" directly on textures by tga's author (flush deck):



Barbiano_Deck.tga, inside the .dat file.
