[REL] Historically accurate 4 blades Balao propellers

Hi captains!

Following some very stubborned attempts at importing a 3dmodel inside SH4 and making its texture to work, i've finally made it
I've had to deal with certain restrictions so as for now, it doesn't quite match the level of quality we'll be able to reach in a near future, especially regarding how light reacts on the model... But can't say i'm quite proud :rotfl:Skwasjer will know why lol

Ok, as some of you may already knows, US submarines of that era were using 4 blades propellers during war instead of the 3 blades one the devs modelled. So i've modelled one myself and got it retextured. Propellers have now their own separate texture also instead of sharing a tiny part of the hull general texture (hence very low-res).
I'm releasing the balao as for today since ,first, i gotta have to sleep :rotfl:and second, so you can test it and give feedbacks and comments on how to improve it.

First, some little comparison...


It's 100% latest ROW COMPATIBLE. All you have to do is installing it AFTER ROW (or ROW would overwrite it...)

...CLICK ON THE PROPELLER TO DOWNLOAD...


Hope you'll like it!!

All that hard work and you then use a three-bladed propellor for a download icon! :rotfl:

The past week I've seen some funny postings in here. Kriller2 posting beautiful environmental screenshots with his two scopes up, me posting beautiful ROW shots with a mousecursor at the center of the screen, Kriller2 teasing me for doing this, then doing it himself in another thread (:rotfl: ), Ducimus whining S3D is too cool for him to stop modding (yes!! ), and now this...

Anyway, nice job kapitan, next goal: AO map!

wait,wait,wait! i've changed that propeller now...
People seems to have focused more on this lol than on the mod :rotfl:
As for the AO, can't say i'm not looking forward to start working on them
they're easy to get on 3Dsmax, so don't expect lots of problem on this side
