Something from Silent Hunter, perhaps vintage 1987

Try these for starters...

Destroyer -> http://www.ramrcandramtrack.com/sound/Ram61.wav
Sub crash dive -> http://sep800.mine.nu/files/sounds/submarinealert.wav
Large APA transport -> http://www.loyalhannadockyard.com/PLAY%20JJC-M101-2.wav
Something smaller -> http://www.cadour.net/cadeaux/Sons/Bateaux/nave.wav

Please add more!! General alert (when enemy aircraft are sighted would be awesome)...

Hey Amaris, Have you seen Iain's latest on BA2?
Trenches would be mighty fine in the Pacific jungles...!
(but, man, I wish I had your shimmery water on my feeble Mac)

If that the east front imagine a Beachhead..... Hell on earth. My BA nightmare is Urban Fighting

Oh yeah I saw that (too drooled on my screen.)
And the graphic engine seems much smoother.

We need them.

After few days of holidays I present my first 3D model entirely done by myself the naval mine:





Textures must be improved, but I am very satisfied.

Very Nice....and the mines also!

That does look very good.

That's epic! Oh how this is going to be abused....

Not really a ship but here my first 'big' 3D model, the Japanese 94-6 type truck:



Type 94 6-Wheeled Truck

Introduced Year : 1934
Weight : 5.3 ton
Dimensions: 5.4 x 1.9 x 2.2(h) m
Speed (max) : 60 km/hr
Engine : Gasoline Engine (Ko Model) 70HP, Diesel Engine (Otsu Model) 70HP
Loading Capacity : 1.5 ton
Manufacturer : Isuzu

Without texture, here my model:





Vertices: 2074
Faces: 3840

But I don't do any optimization. So I guess it'll be working well with BA engine.

Next step will be to understand how make a good texture.
And may be improve the 3D model.

I wish I knew how to do that sort of thing. very impressive again, the ability to make new unit types from thin air!

I've never done 3D model before, you must just start.

I use Gmax (free: http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax) and there are more tutorial online.

For the Japanese truck I found this blueprint: http://carblueprints.info/eng/view/othe ... er-hardtop
Imported into Gmax, I used it as a guide.

A first try to do a Japanese house:




My texture skill grow up.
By cons a lot of work...

Texture in progress:

Are you using the ambush skin from the Nromandy Campagin? I can see it

I use the German truck texture file in fact (see screenshots.)
But I think about create my own texture file for a better result.
More texturing:

I improved my 3D model for an easily texturing and so the truck is almost done:







This truck is pretty nice.

I have improve the basis model (adding a support for the headlights, better alignment of objects) and I start to work on texture:



Vertices: 2300

Hold on! Did you say headlights ! Your really pushing BAs boundaries Amaris

Well headlights are only a esthetic detail of the model.
They do not work.
Unless...

Oh ok thought you meant working headlights! But hey never say never right
