Calling all Sub Hunters to The Sub-committee

WOW! :mixedsmi:

Any chance of adding (baking in) some Ambient Occlusion shading to the floating dock textures?

Looking very nice! My only suggestion would be to rig in the bow planes on the Typhoon and Oscar, they look a bit odd while surfaced with bow planes extended. Any chance of a Victor class in the future? Sure would be fun to tail with RAZBAM's upcoming P-3. ;)

I was thinking the same.

The 212's are slick little boats. The Italians have a similar AIP SSKin service, with a natty aquamarine cam job. These are all simple objects, no animations. Good for AI and eye candy, but MDLX format, and freeware. And I messed up the types- short on sleep this week. So
(1)Front to back. Typhoon SSBN, Delta IV SSBN, Oscar III SSGN, Akula(from AvSimRus, but a few Akula I's and II's on the way) and Mike SSN
(2)front to back Mike, Akula, OscarIII, DeltaIV, Typhoon.(3)Kilo and Foxtrot SSK(still needs work, but I like it).(4)Typhoon close up(big!)(5) Gato ( riding a bit low). (6)JMSDF Uzushio class SSK (7) Permit class SSK.(8) Ohio class SSBN

Absolute art!

(only one small comment; the Typhoon class has her diving planes extended while at surface. Are these not these supposed to be retracted?
 
So. Ummm. The diving planes. I was thinking ahead to P3D, which supports subs. We'll see. Baked in textures... ambient occlusion, we'll see. I'm just starting to get a grip on this stuff, and the learning curve goes straight up. simple objects for now as I sort this out. Waiting for mediafire for the beta upload, which gives a bit of time to sort out some defects, and hash out compiler glitches; mostly my own jerk-ass fumbling...
Left to Right: (1)Gato class SS, Ohio class SSBN, Virginia class SSN, Los Angeles class SSN, (2) Virginia class SSN , (3) Foxtrot class SSk getting a full hull.
Thanks for the kind words.

Beta package uploaded to mediafire, testers; check your PM, and thankyou.
Took a little longet than I thought to get all the bits sorted, FOXTROT is getting some rebuilding (in components so I can put a GOLF in the water.)
Added. AKULA II & III, ALPHA (ALFA?), BOREI, HOTEL, full hull FOXTROT, IJN I-88 SS and 2 I-400 class SSCVL's, and a few small suprises.

Excellent stuff, this really appeals to me. I have a fleet of Soviet era subs and surface vessels which I use as AI. They track from Polyarny around northern Europe and the UK. I set the AI up using AIBoats but do find it a little restrictive as the subs are either always on the surface or always at periscope depth. It would be great if they could submerge and surface from time to time.

I chase them around using the Nimrod (alas no more) and they show up on the FS radar gauges. Always looking to expand.

Typhoon leaving Polyarny on winters morning, and waiting to play war games with them..

Submarines are usually a bit stealthy, one seldom flys along and sees on on the surface anymore. Sonar bouys out there?

Alive and well. Life, you know. The program has grown to; umm, 40 submarines. I've been re modeling stuff that bugged me, and adding hard decks to the larger boats(Boomer, SSGNs and I400 SSCVLs). Just put 5 more in the water- HM submarines T class, T class postwar, Oberon class, ILK 209, and HM submarine Vanguard class. I'd like to figure out the diving animation, but that might have to wait for a bit, unless an epiphany strikes. I guess I should quit mucking about with it and get it all bound up and shipped out, but that means tackling the nerd's worst nightmare. The documentation!
 
That would be the Oberon (O boat) class- Ojibwa, Okanagan, Onodaga, Olympus and Osiris. As the boats carried no really distinct marks on patrol, I think they're covered. Got a Upholder on the ways, but modeling 18 years of rust and neglect is a bear. HMCS Rainbow and Grilse were Guppy boats, and there is a GUPPY III on the go, so I think were covered there.
 
Man oh Man!!!


Warming up the P2/P3/Nimrod/Il38!!!! I'm looking forward to this!
