[WIP] Aquila italian aircraft carrier

VonDos · 09-05-07, 11:56 PM

Just a Work in Progress, for now a repaint, but i'm thinking to modify the 3d model:

Isn't similar?

based on Gerome Graf Zeppelin, whit author's autorization ^_^
Thanks, Gerome!

IF you do a rework of her, make her incomplete, as she never was finnished. It would be extra eye candy for the game!

denis_469 · 09-06-07, 01:15 AM

You need rework funnel.
And need made shipboarn planes for it ship :hmm:

filefool · 09-06-07, 01:36 AM

Hmm, you certainly have to rework the island.

Otherwise it looks great.

madmike81 · 09-06-07, 06:08 PM

It def does look very nice.

Maybe finish it up and release two different versions???

Like one incomplete for the history buffs....and one complete that us others can pummel to rust after the italians through in the white flag.

Just some thoughts.

VonDos · 09-07-07, 11:30 AM

Yes, i will release a incomplete version (without guns for example) and a complete version.

Aquila was 90% complete at war end:

Aquila (Italian language: "Eagle") was an Italian aircraft carrier designed and built during World War II. It was a modification of the liner Roma. The conversion started in 1941; at the time of the Italian armistice (8 September 1943), the conversion was almost complete, but the ship was never delivered to the Regia Marina. It was scrapped in 1952.
fate:
The conversion started at Cantieri Ansaldo, Genoa, in mid-1941. After the armistice of 8 September 1943, when the ship was nearly completed and had already passed the first static test, Germany took possession of the ship. Aquila was damaged during some allied air attacks on Genoa. Since it was possible that the Germans would have used the big keel to block the entrance to Genoa port, Aquila was partially scuttled by Italian commando frogmen. After the war, Aquila was brought to La Spezia, where she was scrapped in 1951-52.

off-topic but what 3D modelling program are you using for this?

VonDos · 09-24-07, 02:51 PM

I'm using Maya 7,0

Maya 7.0 supports importing/exporting OBJ files? Is this the PLE edition you're using?

VonDos · 09-24-07, 03:44 PM

With the right Plug-In, maya can import Obj

look here for example:

How about reworking it into USS Yorktown and Essex later? There is a huge demand on US aircraft carriers in SH4.

Mmmm :hmm: :hmm: these ships are very different from Aquila (and G. Zeppelin)...
for now, i can say this work will take me a lot of time, and i've another project for the immediate future...

This is the state-of-art for aquila, you can see it is no finished, and it isn't near to be finished

:

But future is so loooong...
