- I don't think it's too light. (The morning sun is reflecting off bird droppings) ...lol

I used this public domain picture for the texture.

You could darken up the texture easy enough with a graphics program like Gimp or Photoshop if you want.

Keep in mind that it is JSGME for stock.

EDIT: Solved, no problem.

just my observation based on the size of the waves in that real life image, i think you need to double the height and width of it but the shape and colors look spot on.


maybe 2 sub lengths high and 1 sub length wide


excellent work

Webster, Webster - Thanks - (I think) ......lol

From the discussion topic,
(http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...php?t=160204):

Sources I have read say that Sofu Gan has a summit height of roughly 325' or approx 100 meters above sea level....

To rough it in I Imported a SH4 Gato class model which is approx 310' long to use to compare when I built the mesh.

This model is close enough for me. As I said, It is intended to be a representation of Sofu Gan, not an exact duplicate my crew can climb and measure.

If you want to build a model that is 600' high and 600' +/- wide feel free but it would be twice as tall and wide as it should be.

I am satisfied with it as it is. It isn't perfect but at least it is close to the correct size and close to the correct location.

Happy Hunting!

I think Webster's right, using a pencil to get the length of the sub and then comparing it to the height of the rock, it's about 60% of the height of the rock.

They had a lot of rain that day and the sea level rose.

That's gotta be it - lol - (man, this is a rough crowd to please......)

OK, it looks like a nice day for a cruise:



the result:



It's close - 290' - 300' above sea level when it should be 325' +/-

If one wants to pick it apart further, the north - south, east - west measurements are off as well, and the precise shape is a little different too.

Like I have said, this is meant to be a representation of Sofu Gan, I built it for myself, and thought I would share it if anyone else wanted it.

I'm so happy to finally see Lot's Wife in SH4 !! I've been intrigued by Sofu Gan since 2002 when I first saw it in our mission orders and looked it up.

Happy Hunting!
