Akos Gergely -> Ship graphics (2/6/2009 9:42:07 PM)

After all these new and beautiful map teasers (thanks Andrew!) it would be really nice to have some sneak peak at the naval graphics :)

For example some teaser shot showing all those various fits and paint versions of a certain ship (let's say Lexington Saratoga had at leaset 4 looks/camo - and if I might ask South Dakota class as well :)) .

Could we get that please ohh please!!!



CarnageINC -> RE: Ship graphics (2/7/2009 3:24:37 AM)

ah, yes...I must second this request [8D]



jwilkerson -> RE: Ship graphics (2/7/2009 3:37:54 AM)

John, you wanna show a few, go ahead!

Actually BigB did some of my favorites, the Japanese cruisers (since I did the data for them), maybe John will show a few of those too!

[:)]



Chad Harrison -> RE: Ship graphics (2/7/2009 4:22:18 AM)

John, if you taking requests, I would love to see some of the late war allied stuff. Midway, Iowa, long hull Essex.

Would be great to see some of the yet unseen aircraft sides too!

Thanks in advance!

Chad



Akos Gergely -> RE: Ship graphics (2/7/2009 3:55:37 PM)

Anyone ? Bueler? Bueler?  :) [&o]



Terminus -> RE: Ship graphics (2/7/2009 3:56:48 PM)

If you're busy, John, I can put up a few ship sides...



JWE -> RE: Ship graphics (2/7/2009 4:04:48 PM)

First off, don’t forget, this is art for the commercial product. Matrix wishes to keep the ship details visible in the commercial product. Since the job of dazzle is to obscure ship details, only the hulls of a limited number of ships were implemented in dazzle measures, and subdued ones at that. Topsides were not – on purpose, so as not to obscure the superstructure details. Sorry, but this is not-negotiable for the general release product.

All the artists have a vast stock of after-market art that will be made available to the paint job grogs. Most ships have multiple upgrade art slots, for this very purpose. TomLabel is the “Measure” king and probably has every ship in every paint job ready to go. We also have a complete listing of every bitmap for every ship class, the evolution (upgrade) flow, and the time period (mm,yy).



JWE -> RE: Ship graphics (2/7/2009 4:06:45 PM)

Whoops, Sorry T, posts got crossed. Here’s “some” of the Lexington, Iowa, Wasp, SoDak, Indiana, KG-V, Repulse, Nelson, Illustrious. I’ll post some Japanese too.

Don't be sorry, JWE, this is your job. However, since I've made it, I'm posting this one. It shows the progression of the Tennessee class, chronologically from top to bottom:

Oh, and "I've made it" refers to the composite of the three ship sides, not the ship sides themselves.

Very pretty. That brings up a good point, T. Art shows some “interim” rebuilds as well as historical rebuilds. Arizona was destroyed at PH, and Pennsylvania got a full rebuild (twin 5/38s and all that) right out of the box. But the game might not get the same PH results, so maybe BuShips might do a ‘quick & dirty’ rebuild on the Pennsylvania class, like they did for Tennessees and especially Colorados.

So, there’s an ‘interim’ in there; mainmast cut down with directors added, same secondary armament, same bridge, more AA – players can hang with that for a while if they want, and then go for the full rebuild. Here’s what it looks like.

JWE -> RE: Ship graphics (2/7/2009 4:54:41 PM)

And, some Japanese. Kaga, Shinano, Yamashiro, Ise, Takao, Haguro, Nagara, Minekaze, Akitsuki.

Grotius -> RE: Ship graphics (2/7/2009 5:16:50 PM)

Those are gorgeous, guys.



vettim89 -> RE: Ship graphics (2/7/2009 5:39:19 PM)

I think I wet myself. [&o][&o][&o]

BTW, always thought Nelson look like a Cigar Boat with guns. A very big Cigar Boat



SuluSea -> RE: Ship graphics (2/7/2009 5:42:20 PM)

We're truly spoiled, again fantastic work my friends!!!!!!!!![&o][&o][&o]



JWE -> RE: Ship graphics (2/7/2009 5:42:54 PM)

Whoops, forgot. Some Japanese CLs had CLAA conversions. Others were planned, but 'stuff happened' and they didn't get done. BigB found the drawings for these, and they are in the pile too. I'll post some of these along with some of the Kaiten carrier conversions.



Akos Gergely -> RE: Ship graphics (2/7/2009 7:26:47 PM)

Amazing! Belive it or not but these small gems contribute a lot to the overal game feeling.

I guess the policy for the aftermarket stuff still haven't changed, so we can't see TOMLABEL's "Measure"s :) ?



Terminus -> RE: Ship graphics (2/7/2009 7:32:38 PM)

Since it's not "official" AE art, yes. Not in the AE forum, at least...

Think that qualifies as too much information...[:D]



JWE -> RE: Ship graphics (2/7/2009 7:41:25 PM)

Lol. [:D]

Okay, here’s more of BigB’s ‘specials’. Tenryu morphing into a CLAA (official IJN blueprints), Kitakami morphing into a Kaiten carrier (official IJN blueprints), and Mogami morphing into a CVS (official IJN blueprints).

As soon as it's out my RN ships are getting pretty dazzle schemes [:D]

I'm new, so don't yell at me.

JWE has pictures on white backgrounds, Terminus has pictures on the backgrounds I'm used to seeing. Is something strange happening here?


I'm showing sides, which is the graphics you see if you look at a ship data screen in the game. JWE is showing ship shils, which is what you see on the surface combat screen (the filled-in background colour disappears).

So he can know who to believe, Termie.

Hey Osterhaut, people who have some kind of AE thingy in their signature block, can be presumed to know somewhat of whereof they speak. Except for Terminus. He is a special case; a wandering minstrel; a voice in the wilderness; a fly in the ointment. Give him 2 grains of salt, and he's worth a million nattering internet voices. Off Topic pal, so no more. Good question, though. Maybe bring it up elsewhere.



Terminus -> RE: Ship graphics (2/7/2009 9:47:50 PM)

I'm vaguely tempted to show off all our little boats, but they're too damn little...[:D]



Big B -> RE: Ship graphics (2/7/2009 10:27:36 PM)

Thanks for the nod of appreciation John[:)]

By the way - this is beyond strict AE, but I also have most all of the major "ships that never were" ready for an AE add on or mod.[;)]

below is an example

Oooh, we'll be talking later, Big B...[&o]

But back on topic. Any more requests?
