3D concept (All Ships ARE Now Finnished 31-12-04 )

Post by CobraAus »

I'am trying out new ship side art and trying to achieve a 3D look
I have done 4 allies SS and 1 Japanese SS this afternoon -see below

opinions please - note the original bmp file are a lot clearer
Plus this will take some time to put together

If these are intended for the ship detail windows, I would remove the discharge flames.

These are the transp files appear in action screens not in ship detail screens

172 is the Arkansas class, but that is definately an Alaska. Also, you might want to either shorten those subs, or elongate everything else to bring it into scale. Otherwise, looks good!

That's a cool idea. I would love to try this out when finished, as I've been WITPing pretty hard in anticipation of a Bloodlines-induced lull.
