Daz3d studio is simply a rendering engine... i bought the skeleton set-up tools pack from daz studios to go with it... that allowed me to rig models once i had them done... i use daz's Hexagon modelling program to actually construct the models... if you can get that... there are a whole series of tutorials on the daz studio website for basics... for both daz3d and hexagon (their modelling app) also... renderosity has some good tutorials and a whole forum area just dedicated to hexagon and another for daz...

very nice work on the freighters...
oh... i forgot to mention.. i said about daz because you can open my models and then export the model in different formats... incase the format for my items is the prob... Hexagon is their actual moddelling app... it's a fairly easy one to use... very intuitive... |

there is a way to do some basic modelling in daz itself... but it's all done with basic primitives... which you can then save out... but it's very basic... and you would have a hard time doing anything truely decent...
I'm glad the parts came through ok... i hope they will help... |

theschell, I managed to open some of your simpler objects but the larger ones keep crashing wings3d. I will try Hexagon & some other apps to see if I can learn them. Thanks.

Hexagon is probably the easiest to learn... and is the only modelling app i know how to use... i found wings and blender to be confusing and hard to understand... lol... i'm not great at this 3d modelling thing... also... there's a huge wealth of tutorials and forums for help with hexagon... so it was easy to find help with it...
Sorry my models parts aren't working out as we'd hoped... that kinda sucks... |

Therefore, in my opinion this ship's hull is closer to 4000 than to 2500 tons, but hey, don't take my words for truth because I use the same method as the real Kaleuns did, and those overestimated wildly the size of their targets (Works great for estimates of length and heigth for speed and distancem though)

Wow! I missed a lot in this thread. Go guys, go! I can't wait to burn more of my precious hard drive space for a separate installation of the Wolves of the Kaiser mod.

I just noticed that the European coastline is VERY poorly modeled in certain areas, such as near the Channel and several French ports.
NOT good, seeing that most of the action will take place in this area. Hopefully it's an issue with mod conflicts & not an unresolved bug. It's very frustrating to come close to land and see buildings floating in midair, mountains split in half, and other glitches.

Re:
Does SH4 support the importation and use of Digital elevation model (DEM) for rendering the terrain?
