[REL] "New" old unit: Queen Mary ocean liner \ troop transport (Reworked 2017 edition)

[VonDos]

At this point, maybe i could try to convert and remap sh5'hull, using modded funnels, masts, ecc on her.

Something like this:





What do you think about this?

If i'll continue with this conversion, this will require weeks in UV remapping, repositioning nodes, rework and adapt details.. btw this hul has an interesting detail level.

Best regards,

Oh yeah ! Please do this, Von Dos ! Keep the most detailed models (from SH5 or from you) for each parts ! But first check SH5 hull with a real construction plan. Even if the general aspect on your screenshots looks already better.

Before modifying the small details on the hull (windows, doors, stairs), could you send a beta test version to us, in case some additional tweaks are needed ?

No matter the time, this beautiful ship deserves it ! So, unless you have other and more urgent projects, I think you should keep working on this "new" old unit !

By the way, it's a good opportunity to improve the textures, in particular the black hull, the (too big) white line between black and red hull, and the wooden floors. Last thing, could you make the windows black instead of light blue ? Or even better : 3D moddeled, in order we can add a light texture during the night !

Looks good, but I would need to overlap the new superstructure mesh with a blueprint, to tell you how accurate it is

The funnel colour looks more similar to the one used by Cunard:



The black band on the hull looks a bit too dark though. It should be darker than it currently is, but not so dark that detail/rust/dirt on it gets lost

Seconded

[VonDos]

Hi everyone!

Planking is longitudinal, but ugly textures + graphic effects make really poor this effect. New textures will improve this, i'm looking for this.

@the_frog love those colors, if i send you the original tga, can you modify a little the file with this "Cunard" orange please?

@everyone if you want i can send a beta with the WIP unit.

Best regards,
Vd

Do the new decks have their texture mapped on the main unit texture or on a separate tga file?

I think Kendras was suggesting the new funnel colors with Cunard "scheme", not The_Frog.
Anyway, here is my intepretation of them: I made the bronze color on the funnel more orange-red (if need be, I can do it a bit darker and more red), and I have darkened/contrasted a bit the black bands on funnels and hull:

Let me know how the new colors will look in game

No problem.
