That is a great photo Privateer, shows the deck details, top hamper and very good detail of the 88, thanks for sharing that. Really nice picture. Amazing how much there is when one starts digging considering how many years ago it was...and the chaos that hit the German Imperial government and services at the end of the war.

A good line drawing of the Krupp 8.8cm L/30 would help. It's my understanding most of Krupp's documents were destroyed after the War.
Krupp survived by owning a large share of Bofor's and moveing thier people out of Germany. The WWII version of the 88 does share some details but one will need to study any images of the WWI U-boat Guns to do a good model. As it's a player used Gun it will require better details then what would be done for non-player Guns. I hope the images I've collected help. |

Here's a shot of the 12pdr with MKI type barrel end.
It's more accurate for your era. This is shot in SH3 but once all the work is done it's a quick click to convert it to SH4. I'll burn the AO and Normal stuff then also. |

Thank you for the model. What program do you use for AO's and normal maps?

Words cannot express the great ammount of admiration and awe I hold for you wonderful and dedicated people. I await the day when all of us will be able to relive the glorious era of the Kaiserliche u-boote. The conflict is not forgotten....thank you

Skinning progress on the submarine U-9. The hull is symmetrical and can feature hull numbers, so you can select a skin that corresponds to your assigned boat (although this skin is "plain"). The final product may change a little or a lot depending on whether I improve my alpha channel & AO map skills:

Continued good luck with this one
WWI will be a great change of pace for many here at SUBSIM. |

http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet...12&id=13571257 The SH5 Devs told me how they did the AO's and they look much better to me. NJob (FREE!) for Normals. http://charles.hollemeersch.net/njob You'll need a paint program that can switch the Green and Blue channels. danlisa has a tutorial here in downloads on Normal creation in PhotoShop. The Life Boat I released for SH4 was done with the above programs. |

I could probably help by providing models of North Atlantic merchant ships of the period, as I have a special knowledge of that.
I work with 3D Studio Max, though, so can provide files in .X format, .3DS or native Max. PM me if you are interested.

To everyone else I just obtained a nice model of HMS Tiger. If it can be implemented ingame then I will have models for all of the British battlecruisers except the Indefatigables. Which means more time for less well known ships.

I just googled the title, and there are 40 volumes in the series!?!?
http://www.marinersinternational.com/haws.html [edit] Never mind. I just found at least one of the collected copies in hardcover. [edit 2] Hmm. What I thought was a collected edition was just one volume. Looks like I have some saving to do.
