For the illumination problem ,that come from the "shininess strenght" :

- is it possible to increase the size of bottom front mesh, so to increase the size of the emblem rendered on it (the shark-boat wih the iron cross in your example)?

- Could you design other conning tower models to use the same texture as the VIIb? If not, how would you restrict the use of emblems to their pertinent conning tower? I hope I made myself clear...

TheBeast and GAP : you need wider ? or higher ?

This is the place you have in TEST02

As big as possible, for allowing to accomodate this emblem:

erm... if you are able to do it without distorting height/width ratio, and keeping the same resolution as the top stripe also for the lower one, I am going to award you with the title of most patient modder of the millennium!

BIGREG · 08-26-12, 07:42 PM

Hum ! This is possible ,But i need to use a bigger texture

This one make H1024xL2048= ~10 MO !
other reduce the quality ... -> H1536x1536

But ,i get try the other way ,by adding subsets ... to have different textures (numbers,sides,front....) ,if it works, it will be much easier
(A mod with the numbers, one for the front emblems etc...)
But we must see how it will react !

Well, the texture you used is very big. In my opinion there is space for halving it with a little loss of quality indeed...

As for adding different subsets, it is probably the best way to implemet your changes, but how are we going to manage the many emblems within the boat upgrades menu

I think you should have two (2) area for textures that wrap all the way around from Port Ladder to Stbd Ladder, excluding Vents and Rescue Floatation Rings.
1. From Bottom of Top Splash Guard to Top of Bottom Splash Giard.
2. From Bottom of Bottom Splash Guard to Deck, exclude protusion on front center.

This would simplify creating the MOD. Kind of what privateer did for SHIII.

Provide a template for each tower with grid to help position taxtures that can be added as layer and that grid layer is hidden prior to save.

The .PSD or .PDN can contain all textures for all Hull Numbers of that Type Uboat and Conning Tower.

As you can see below, the bottom textures really need to use area from splash guard to deck.

I want to put something like below, center top front.

Tonight I will begin the next test

But if you could give me a schema, it will be easier to see the location you want
I try too, my other ideas ...
Well, I get back to (real) work ...

QUESTION:
Will we be able to Bumb Map these Textures?

You may sink me today but as Arnold would say, "I'll be back!"
