i asked you also , in the case that the deck (as it shows in your pics) is not a separate 3d model , if you are willing to make one at future

I still, am not sure that completely and correctly understood sense of a question. But I will taste to answer.
The deck is made in 3d - form:


















By the way, the deck of the turm, also, made in the 3D:





All other openings, also, in the 3D.
I made the only exception here:




I didn't begin to do these small openings in 3d since I consider that to spend many 3d-polygons for such trifles, this madness.
In our previous mod (type IX) all decks are, also, made in 3d, including, IXC-40.
My friend, believe me, I began to be engaged in these works only because I can't quietly look at an awful condition of those boats which to us were offered by developers of game.
You won't believe, but even figures "45" onboard the turm, it not texture. It is 3d.

I had to make so because, the picture of the tga-32bit alpha channel, in game sometimes disappears from a look, depending on a viewing angle.
I hope that, I guessed with the answer.

yea Wise !! thats exactly what i meant about the 3d model for deck !
what a brilliant work mate ! i really REALLY love what you are preparing .thank you for sharing all this with us !


when , i first saw a 3d deck in game , i made the same thought with you...how awful the current u-boat models looked

here is a small teaser video i had made long time ago for presenting the work of Hans Witteman on deck of type iia U-Boot-hahd model but i never uploaded it cuase of the end of the u-boot-hahd project (i bet that yours will look the same or even better in game!):

once again,...big congratulations ,Wise

@makman94
Thank you

Hans Witteman, certainly, great 3d - the master. I heard that it stopped development of the project. It is a pity. But I too have a question. If its project won't be, where it is possible (and whether it is possible in general) to download at least its excellent boat, the IIA type? And if isn't present, then why?

no , Hans's type iia was never released so there is no download link for it.
as far i know,Hans didn't release it becuase it isn't finished. i have a very very earlier version of his boat but Hans sent me this version absolutely privately with the promise that i will never upload anything of his files without his permission.
without Hans's permission my hands are tied,i will try to contact him for a last time and i will try to convince him to release his work

Horrido makman94,

good luck with contacting Hans Wittemann and asking him to give permission to release the type II A (although I have little hope that he´ll give his ok).

Maybe finally we see something of HAHD!

Fantastic work, Wise

The VIIB looks great! I can't wait seeing it in-game.

Just one little suggestion: I always think it looks strange to see the crew with rain coats in the 'wintergarden' during a heavy storm. It's much better to have the crew 'in the conning-tower' (you can simply move the DMY_Soclu_POSR_* nodes from the 'wintergarden' to the front). This also adds some variety.
