First imported model: Vosper

[thasaint]

so wait, this means there can be new ship models in SH3?

:/\rlz:

You RULE Sergbuto!!!!

Along with the congratulations, will you give a laymans tutorial on how to import new models using Sansals new tool so we can all contribute models?

I'm sure you'll be flooded with more questions from us eager beavers so just answer what you like, if any.

How many polys did you use?

What scale (if any) do the models need to adhere to to appear at correct size ingame?

Do we just follow the suggested polycount mentioned in the 'Ubisoft need new model thread'?

Can you export existing objects such as funnels,hulls,guns,etc to cut down having to remake the same things to use on other new ships?

Can we finally get a uboat with a flagstaff?

Either way, excellent news! Finally a real breakthrough in the game!

Excellent Serbuto!

Another thing I was wondering, will the Vosper be able to be skinned with different schemes?

[thasaint]

any idea for a reasonable poly level in this game?

[Sansal]

You made my day.
I love blasting those little Elcos with the deck gun and I'm sure I'll love the Voster too ;-)

BTW: Is there a way to equip the Elcos and the Voster with virtual torpedos from the Wolfpack Mod?

[pontius]

JUST GREAT !!!

[Col7777]

I've got to add my two cents,

Great piece of work again Serg' you have my fullest admiration.


Now where's my list of models I want importing?

Seriously I'm sure there will be more models coming from the Sergbuto workshop in all good time, well done mate.

Is a texture uvw map which comes with an OBJ model also correctly importable?

All i can say: "Smoke on the Horizon Captain!"

If this uv map works with only one tga, yes. In fact, the airplanes and land units works in this form; there are only one tga.

Yes it should blow up as a whole thing. I meant damage for separate parts like cabin, mast, pipes, etc.

I did not work in detail with this yet. As to screenshots, it is not possible to see reflections on the wakes.

These are maybe not the best screenshots. In any case, things like this can be corrected.

Importing guns may not be easy, if possible at all. I have some suspisions after working on "virtual torpedo" mods. But this requires more tests, maybe I am wrong after all.
