The Warspite's looking good, Ashes

How many polys in that model?

Hawkers

My dream is to have a larger number of small civil ships, yachts, boats, sailing boats etc (sorry, I don't know the English specific names), we've got all these nice MTO maps for example and all you see in a port is war ships, it's looking a bit dull to me and unrealistic and lifeless without some variety in small civil vessels... The number of civil vessels is too small, at least this is how I think...

Sweeeeeeeeet, thanks. :o

I'd say specifically the Shoho/Zuiho or Hiyo class would be pretty killer as far as IJN CVEs. Tone/Mogami, Atlanta class Light AA, and Deutschland/Admiral Hipper class for cruisers. Anything would be amazing.

Even with ShipPack2 theres still a lack of medium combat vessals. I just figure each of the big 6 countries should have at least one of everything.

Makes me wonder if the Yorktown class shall ever makes it's debut.

2750 at the moment but that will shoot up with the small guns.

I've been breaking apart the HMSKGV model to try and understand the model structure.
That has 80000 polys for the entire model which includes LOD0 - LOD5.
Some of the fittings from HMSKGV can be imported including the 2pdr 8 barrelled pom pom guns and the 20mm Oerlikons. Don't expect rapid progress though.

Great looking Warspite!

As for the Yorktown, it is a much needed carrier. Ranger included.

However, to help fill this void, I want to attempt the Ranger.

Now, my current model still needs alot of work on it to make it on par with IL2 level of detail.







Model poly count stands at 15,473.

EDIT: Sorry, the previous number of 18,000+ was with the ocean plane underneath the ship and the planes on it for scale.

I plan to work on the hull more, to get that poly count up.

18.000 Polys?

PLease, could you post a wire of it, I think you have something strange going on there.

---

- straswa - 28.11.2008



Sorry it's a bit dark. Yeah, 18,000 polys for now, anyway.

I still have to add the smaller AA guns, ladders, small details, etc.

straswa -- First of all I am still learning and no expert, but a few comments.

You should probably put more polys into the hull shape.

You need to get a copy of the "hull lines" and model the hull in more detail to get the right shape.
Create accurate cross sections at regular spacings along the keel then extrude hull plates between the cross sections.

I am guessing that you have too many polys in small fittings and radar masts etc.
These need to be made in much more simple form. The il-2 models make a lot of use of "opacity maps" to create an impression of detail in simple plane shapes. Thats something I still have to learn how to do properly.
