What do you mean base off of? Flakmonkey modelled the diesel room and other new compartments from scratch AFAIK, there was nothing in SH3 to base these on. A graphical comparison is completely fair. He's done a magnificent job.

In fact they both look great to me. I've been using the beta mod in SH3 for a while, walking around more in my boat, interacting as much as possible w/ crew, riding the storm, crash dives, deep dives and depth charge attacks with them. It's pretty awesome as it is. That's why just thinking what SH5 will bring is getting me so excited. It doesn't matter if there is 28 crewmen, SH3 has even less and it doesn't bother. The whole boat is modelled and now walking around is built in the game, it's not done using the freecam. I hope more interesting interactivity options are present, like clicking gauges, operating levers and opening drawers, cupboards, to check out maps, books, etc. Adding to what the devs have done, w/ the strong moddability of all these aspects, the SH5 interior and living there will be a satisfying experience for sure..

Actually Flakmonkey said he used the SH5 diesel room to work on.

Either way, Flakmonkey's stuff defininitely looks better than SH5's in most repects. The greatness is in the extra detail, the things lying around, better textures etc.
The SH5 u-boat looks more impersonal and more basic.

This also makes the SH5 boat seem far more spacious. I could almost think that the SH5 interior is slightly larger in scale, which may be right, but the dramatic difference is cause by the larger FOV in SH5 (notice the angled vertical lines).

Awesome work by Flakmonkey, and I hope that his work can somehow be integrated into SH5!

Source?
Most of the diesel room work was done before any SH5 screens where about IIRC.

Its based on sh5s type7 engine room, and as such isnt as accurate as the stunning detail fest that is tomi_099s work on the engine room for sh4 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=153853), but id wager that the polycount is 50-100x less, meaning those of us with less than wonderful pcs wont suffer too much.

flakmonkey sure showed his dedication to details.
terrific work made by him!

€: I forgot to mention DDs share of the work! sry bout that!

Besides, it's only a matter of time before such accuracy finds its way into SH5 - what you see there in SH3 is certainly not only doable in SH3.

The SH3 mod actually gets very good FPS:

The first thing I noticed, was the lighting.
Sh3 has that dim, cave like atmosphere that I think a sub should have. It gives that stale air, damp, smelly feeling.
Sh5 is kind of bright and clean. Also it looks to be they might have a U-boat that is about 3 feet to wide compared to the SH3.
Sh3 looks a lot better.


Also on a side note, will that mod beable to be used with sh4, I hope so. If you guys say yes, then I am sticking with OM forever!
or untill Ubi adds certain things and gets rid of another.

While i partly aggree, and in fact would take sh5s interiors over sh3s anytime i must say that modders are subject to the same limitations too.
System specs, the mod was initially tested on my 1.2GHz pIII/512Mb ram xp machine, try running shV on that!
Cost, well i had a max budget of £5000 and spent most of that on 3ds max 2010... and some cake
Schedule, well there you have me, there is nobody cracking the whip for me to finish, but i will say that from concept to having it in game for just the diesel room took 4 days.

Very nice. Modders really are miracle workers.

....I agree and someday we'll see miracles like those in SHV. Time to time.

Nice work Flakmonkey.
I take the topic of tris1066 from the ubi.com forum here to subsim.com.

I hope that you spent your time and ethusiasm again in SH5.
