I will try to position it precisely enough to prevent overlap or warping of the image.

Absolutely.

It has a very high resolution.

Thank you, this will help for sure.

I might see how close the hulls between IX a/b/c/d uboats are.

If they are pretty close, I will be able to use blueprints from c or d to build a b.

Here is how Rossler describes the Type IXDs compared to early Type IXs:

"Type IXD1 would be given a large installation of six 1500hp motor torpedo-boat diesels for high surface speed (20.8 knots); Type IXD2 would receive the normal Type IX propulsion unit, but with a diesel-electric addition for increased range. The pressure hull had the same strength and same diameter as the Type IX. Apart from the diesel compartment, the fittings corresponded approximately to those of the Type IX, but the living quarters and stowage space were considerably enlarged to meet the requirement for greater endurance. The outer hull, however, was rather wider and higher, and now enclosed the whole pressure hull.

At the bow, the S-curve of the Type IX was avoided by using longer torpedo tube flaps, and this lessened the formation of spray at the bow. The stern was now drawn-out in a very slim profile, and the torpedo tubes now were more effective at the otherwise unencumbered stern." (p. 150)

Is is not possible to import a type IXC from SH4 via 3Dmax

Is this a question or a statement???

Question.

I know the SH4 IXC can be exported by means of a .Obj file using silent editor, I also know that the Obj file can be imported into 3dmax and then re-exported back into SH4 by means of S3.

Is there no way the flexible .Obj file format can be used to export into SH5.

My GR2 Editor/Viewer app can import/export OBJ files. This allows you to change mesh data in GR2 files

Interesting, looks like it may be possible on the surface, as it were.

if you read my original post, you see that this gathering of plans is for a side project. I am doing exactly that - using SH3 and SH4 models to import atm. But they are not very nice models: a lot less detail, rough textures. So, as a side project, I want to start working on a new IX hull.

This will be a long work, as I want to do this model very nicely. I'm not a professional in 3d modeling, so it'll take me even longer. But it is just something I want to do on a side.

Good luck with your project m8.
Type IX is exactly what I need to be hooked again for a few moths after nearly 3 years I last played this game. I hope everything will go ok and we'll see playable type IX in a few months.
I'm considering a donation to you if you make this all happen (high quality model as type VII in SH5, deckwaves, splashes etc, simply all the little thingies that SH5 models have).
Good luck again and hoping all goes well.

Hi Max

Maybe you already know about this source - http://www.u-historia.com/uhistoria/.../principal.htm

I just noticed some plans/schematics there, maybe it will help a little with your project..

Yep, found/located and downloaded already

Thanks you, volodya! Any help is appreciated!

Rydogdav · 04-06-15, 06:22 PM

Hey keysersoze, could you send me those scans from the library too? I'm working on some game models and, like Mr. Avelany, I was unable to find any front/back schematics. Thanks!
